Our friends from Indiana, Jackie & Kenzie, decided to visit us again.  You might remember that they came to visit last summer when we were camphosts at Sheridan Lake National Forest (near Mt. Rushmore) last summer.

This time they drove to see us and we’ve called this Jackie and Kenzie’s Big Road Adventure.  They stayed in one of the cute cabins at our campground.  Kenzie really liked sleeping in the bunk bed and enjoyed the front porch swing.  She is now 4 1/2 years old and is so much taller. Her vocabulary has grown tremendously.  She has such a sweet, happy disposition and our visit together was delightful. 

We were able to get a few days off and showed them some of our favorite places.  No visit would be complete without visiting the Glen and the wonderful waterfalls.  We’ve finally had some rain and the falls are flowing so much better now.  It’s a lot of stairs to climb but worth the effort.

We enjoyed some fun meals together and ate outside on the picnic table.  That’s always a treat.  A roadside stand provided us with some delicious corn for dinner. It was yummy. 

Kenzie loved the corn on the cob and brats

Kenzie requested a campfire  and we just had to roast some marshmallows. 

Kenzie loved all the activities at the KOA and especially enjoyed the pool and jumping pillow.

Jackie and Kenzie also went to the Corning Glass Museum and paid a little extra to make a glass night light and picture frame.  They also enjoyed the Hot Glass demonstration. 

One afternoon we went on a boat sightseeing tour of Seneca Lake and learned a lot about salt mining that has been taking place beneath the waters since the 1800’s.

Driving around the lake is always fun and Kenzie had fun running on the grass at Belhurst’s Castle in Geneva.  .

The time sure went by quickly and there wasn’t very much time for naps.  They are on their way home now with a stop at Niagara Falls.  Please come visit us again soon!
