October 9, 2008--Merom bluff (and puppy-sucky-thingies)

Yesterday afternoon we went to visit Merom Bluff. It's a beautiful park overlooking the Wabash River, and you can see into Illinois.

Here's a picture from the top of the bluff:

There was a "trail" down the side of the bluff--a staircase, actually. A very steep staircase that was more like a ladder. It was a little scary going down, and more than a little exhausting going back up. Erick and I both said we felt like we dropped twenty pounds on the trip up. Here's a picture going down. I was behind the others, since I was holding onto Tim's hand the whole way. I was just glad I didn't have to carry anyone!

Here's a picture of the Wabash from up close:

It was such a beautiful day yesterday--perfect fall weather. I wish fall and spring were a lot longer, and winter and summer were a lot shorter. While we were there at the park, there was a beagle running around who had obviously had pups recently. She was hanging almost to the ground. Timothy saw her and said, "Mom! Look! She has puppy-sucky-thingies!"
