July 4: Burleigh Falls

This is Burleigh Falls where we went swimming

Today we went Burleigh Falls. I went with Uncle John and Dad. I thought it would be a swim place where there is an indoor swimming pool but actually it's a natural swimming place and there wasn't really big falls but there were rapids. At first, I didn't really want to sleep because it was deep and there were zebra mussels but I did go and it's pretty cool swimming in nature. It was beautiful.

I also learned about poison ivy. It has three leaves and the leaves are a little spiky. I saw some at Burleigh Falls.  I didn't get any on me but at first I thought I did.

After we left Burleigh Falls we went to Craig's house. Craig is a mechanic and he is a friend of Matt's. We met Craig at Matt's house last weekend. Craig was fixing up Aunty Lorraine's volkswagen camper van. As soon as I opened the door to Craig's house, two big dogs ran out and started licking me. I had to wash that off later, because they gave me hives.

We also stopped at Pirates Cove which is a little shack close to where Matt and Craig live, where you can get pogo sticks, fries and pulled pork sandwiches. 


Then we came home. Aunty Lorraine picked up Superman comics for me from the library, so I will read those in the morning before everyone else gets up.
