What a beautiful day for letterboxing with the ones I love. Doug, Kate, Bob, Tyler and I ventured out to Lock 7 in Niskayuna. We arrived just in time to see two boats going west on the canal. They just started to lower the water level so Bob and Tyler got to see their first lock in operation in New York. Then we struck out to find some letterboxes - wings along the Mohawk. Ha ha, I didn't think that we would be "bushwacking" with a stroller. Tyler loved the part where he got to walk through the mud because by now he is walking - stroller was left behind with grampa. It was a fun time but little guy got tired early so they went back to Utica before we did. He slept the entire way home.
Doug and I continued a bit more. Of course, I can't go anywhere with out checking out the flora. We came across American Bladdernut - very interesting seed pods and picked out first black caps. Can't wait for ours to rippen. The thrushes we starting to sing so I knew it was after 4. We decided to head back stopping at Applebees for a delicious pecan crusted chicken salad. And for dessert -- we pulled over in St. Johnsville for ice cream. Chocolate Hazelnut Chip - yes it was to die for.
