After swimming in the redonkulous pool, we had a picnic with my family. It was a good day - we had a cookout, played frisbee, and romped on the playground with midnight. The family camped over, but we had had some smores before we headed home. It just makes me more pumped to go to Adirondacks in a few days.
The pool at Letchworth is amazing. I've been there a bunch of times with my family - my dad used to go all the time growing up.
The pool is olympic size at least, plus a diving area. The water wasn't even chlorinated. A mini-e:terry got us to do flips, because we were too scared. And I managed to swim across the pool in one breath, after trying forever.
Like everything else in state parks, the poolhouse and pool were super 60's. It had to have been built for thousands of people - is it because there used to be more families? The style is actually neat.

The keyboard attached to the dock at work tracks your keypresses. This week I hit 500000. I want to get it to rollover at a million before I have to move.
After swimming at the cabin, we headed over to a nearby blueberry farm to pick some berries. It was only $1 a pound, so of course we got 15 pounds. @paul and @terry had never been picking before.
Not sure what we're going to do with them yet but it's going to be delicious. Pie? Jam? They're ridiculously good.
While we were at Bass Mountain, @paul talked to Brian found out that him and @holly were also in Franklinville - in a cabin only a few miles away.
So we met up with them at a diner where Holly shocked all the locals. Then we went up to their cabin to swim in the pond. The house was amazing. It was perched on a wooded hill overlooking everything, and had a spring fed pond you could swim in. I wish I could have taken more pictures.
