We made it late Friday night—an easy drive that turned windy for the final 30 minutes. We were thankful we had driven in before. The ladies stayed up for us flashing lights to bring us in. Once unloaded, the kids stayed up exploring and getting acquainted while Diane suggested we try the hot tub—her favorite new addition since we were there last. That made for a wonderful end to a late night!
The kids had a chill morning of space and exploration which is the true beauty of their home. We walked and ran their loop and prepped for our afternoon hike.
Here is the video too
Love how filling the car for the 10 minute ride is way more fun than driving separate. Plus we were meeting Wayne and baller Blake right before the hike.
The hike was legit and started with quite the incline AROUND the tunnel. Our mountain goat kids went ahead scoring the ridges and adding more steps. We got them to pose a few reluctant times. Love that Diane is on my photo page.
Pretty sure we should have gone down first as they are just too fast
About the head into the rather long tunnel—
Right before we went in we stopped to look over the edge noticing folks had thrown change possibly making a wish—look what was on the railing we were leaning over. 2 dimes—maybe here from Farrah’s mom Patty who said domes are left from someone you know up in heaven.
Almost a mile long and rather dark—there is a legit need for flashlights and hand holding—thank you Diane and Drew!
Snacks and sodas and an old bridge Diane had discovered a few visitors ago. It’s had a unique almost apocolopic vibe. It’s what happens when something is no longer useful-nature seems to take it back.
These guys got to work firming up the rock foundation. The bigger the splash the better
Dirty hands to validate the hard work
Love seeing these 2 paired back up—also giggling at the toilet paper. There will not be a shortage at the Wisneski River retreat in the near future!
Here is our first tik tok -
YouTube videos perhaps or check my kids thread!
This is the one Diane helped us create - videoed by Drew and Blake
Thankful we had another day to do River things on Sunday. Kids packed a lunch and went canoeing/exploring while we rocked another hike. Than opted to suit up and walk to Jules house to say hi. Blake’s outfit is classic River retreat in my book!
Brianna asked if the kids wanted to be the first in the lake this year? They could say yes fast enough.
First lest feed the massive Koi so they don’t this we are the dinner
The view from his lake is truly beautiful. Another great slice of paradise;)
I have lots of cool slow motion videos but for some reason I still cannot post them here. YouTube possibly
When we got back—Nick and Chris were thrilled to rock some yard work in exchange for keeping the Wisneski’s here through dinner
Once they left we had some final ‘relaxation and serenity missions’. During the Kayak Nick when back to their exploring spot. The boys fished while we boated
We made it in right AS the sky opened up and poured on us. As we packed up and did a little laundry we choose our favorite movie throw back and watched Top Gun together.
So lucky to be trusted for an extra night out at the lake. It’s not the same without our buddies but you sure feel closer to them while you are there! Now rather than head to Maryland
