Rockwood Conservation Area

For Matthew's birthday Mary sent him this very cool backpack. Chad was especially impressed! Today we used it to pack up Matthew's beach bag for Rockwood Conservation Area - way cooler than a diaper bag. Matthew is definitely a hiker in the making! Princess Anna stayed home with Nana and had a great afternoon too :-)
Matthew loves waterfalls - he asks everyday to go to the beach or to see a waterfall. Well, today we went to a park that had both! Rockwood is about a half hour away and is just a lovely park. As soon as Matthew saw the pack come out of the trunk he was beaming :-) He had a great day - a waterfall, the beach, playing ball...and he also saw ducks at the park, neigh neighs on the drive, and the squirrel and the rabbit once we got home. Life doesn't get much better for "Mamoo".

Just past the waterfall was a short trail that lead to some caves.

These are the ruins of an old mill that burned down in 1967.
Come on Dad - I'm ready for the beach!
Matthew and Chad played ball in the water for a long time! Matthew had such a great time.
Waving hi to Mom - what a sweetie!!
