so we spent a great week in chautauqua! on tuesday morning we went on a hike through the ancestral woods with a forester to get an idea of the next cutting and care of the woods. the hike with 3 kids under 4 in tow was supposed to be a fun hour in the forest. it turned into nearly three hours 2 of which we spent LOST... and guess what the forester did not have a compass. isnt that in forestry 101? always carry a compass. mom(alexis) did try to guide us out but got us into a swamp..which if we could have possibly crossed it would have gotten us out at the right spot... but eventually we got back to am old logging road and made our way out..whew!
that afternoon we rushed to the talk about our family history at the institution. we got there about 45min late because the damm bus never came to pick us up from the parking lot and we ended up walking. the good thing is that uncle ernest brought along his friend who is a videographer and he filmed most of it. cant wait to see the rest..really interesting stuff..we have mayflower passengers and signers of the dec. of independence in our fam!
on wednesday night we went to see chinese acrobats at the institution and it was awesome. amari now wants to be an acrobat...she has been practicing her moves since the performance. the rest of the trip was spent hanging with fam and enjoying the lake.
