Sunday in the Park with Emily

·

On Sunday we woke up and @terry made an amazing breakfast.

Keeping with the theme of lazy weekend we sat around for most of the day, before Terry and I went on a walk. @paul was sleeping since he was starting to get sick :(.

We met up with Emily who was still recovering from her night out an ended up walking around the park. She kept singing this ridiculous song from some art video called "Sunday in the Park with George" and it's been stuck in my head since then.
On the way back Terry and I stopped at Spot for coffee. Then we got home and made more veggie barley soup. It's so freaking good, especially with the fancy cheese blend Paul shredded.

Ice Caves at Crystal Beach

·


@paul, @terry and I got off the couch this afternoon to go walk around the ice caves at Crystal Beach. Apparently the wind and the cold weather made these crazy huge formations on the shore.

The lake was rock solid, and the combination of the snow and setting sun made it so amazing. We couldn't even climb some of them.

Icy walk at Times Beach

·

It looked so nice outside today I had to get out of the house. @paul called it to @terry when they got their hair cut.

Terry's leg wasn't the best so just Paul and I went, but not before they almost broke each other. We drove down to Times Beach to walk on the ice. It seemed pretty solid, although we didn't go too far. The sun was redonk bright and even the lake was covered in snow. @paul wasnt used to the wind so we moved over to Tiftt for a hike.

I can't wait until its warm.

On the way back we stopped to get things for @czarkasm's party. The Elmwood liquor store had this picture of Nicki Minaj that was super whitewashed. It was so weird.

Winter hike at Devils Hole

·

Today @paul and @terry and I got up early today to go hiking with @Robert and Mickey. We headed up to the gorge after a breakfast (sort of) at Dunkin.

It was so crazy icy I can't believe we actually did it. At first we weren't even going to go down into the gorge because the first set of stairs was just sheet of ice. So we kept walking down to the Devil's Hole stairs, where Paul convinced us to walk down. Or more accurately, slide down.

It was stupid dangerous but really fun. Devil's Hole smells like it exactly how sounds. The way back up was a lot easier.

Afterwards Paul and Terry headed to Paul's cousins for dinner. I ended up going on a cleaning rampage before working on the Arduino thermostat.

Gorge Hike

·

Last Sunday, @paul, @terry and I managed to do some cleaning before we headed outside for the amazing weather. We rescued my brother from CHS open house, went out for lunch and then drove up for hiking to Niagara Gorge.

Shish Kebob Express - really good and the prices weren't terrible. I'm glad Emily told us about it.
