The Walking Path

Along the Bushkill Creek now runs a wonderful walking path. Originally an old railway bed the path is a great place for Carter to explore and have a little bit of freedom since no motorized vehicles are allowed. Carter's "very best friend", and partner in crime, Jacob lives right on the walking path so we decided to head out for some fun.


One of the first things we discovered was this old stone bridge. Jacob, Carter and Ashleigh had fun exploring and watching the creek slowly wind underneath the bridge.


Everywhere are signs of spring. Tiny ferns cling to moss and grow along rock walls, trees have begun to bud, patches of green are evident along the river bed and birds are busily building their nests. We saw a pair of Mallards and Canvasbacks swimming down stream and we were also lucky enough to see a red winged blackbird in flight.







Little Elijah and Cassie were happy to be pushed in their strollers and watch their big brothers. Eli tried really hard to take a nap but there was just too much to see. The boys found some pretty wildflowers and Carter presented me with a beautiful little bouquet. We found enough flowers and Ashleigh made a little wreath for Cassie. Such a princess!







Carter had such a good time he fell asleep talking about his adventure with the Hoffmanns and it was the first thing he mentioned this morning. We are looking forward many more sunny filled walks on the path.
