Our weekend in the Pocono Mountains!

We decided to take advantage of Brandon having his only week of vacation this year, so we decided to go somewhere special.

"Aruba, Jamaica...(no, too expensive and far)...ooh! I wanna take ya to the Poconos." We got there slow, and went fast!
***You need Brandon to sing it to get the full effect :)

Raymondskill Falls:

Khylo loves to hike, but dogs weren't allowed on some of the trails, so we had to carry him.

The spray from the Falls made the ground pretty icy!

Brandon liked this picture of the poor, unfortunate and uncautious stick-man.

Shohola Falls:

We spent much longer finding Shohola Falls than we spent appreciating their beauty.

Dingman's Falls:

Spectacular! We had to hike in to the trailhead, and once we got there, we found out that dogs weren't allowed on this trail either. I don't think Khylo minded!

We hiked clear to the top, it was amazing!

The Appalachian Trail:


One of the few patches of snow we found, although they got a snowstorm today.

We were amazed at how green it was. We're excited to go back in the summer...if it's this green in January, it must be amazing in June!


There were really cool mosses everywhere. This type of moss almost looked like miniature pine-trees. (double-click on the picture and you'll see what I mean!)
