So I went to Glimmerglass State Park on Friday with my family. I was over at my parent's house for my mother's birthday and they were all talking about how they had the following day off and how they were so happy that they could all sleep in. I chimed in with 'Let's go to the beach' and it was all downhill from there. Everyone thought that it was a great idea until they were getting ready for bed, when they all said. "Oh my goodness, now I have to get up early to get ready!" Thankfully, I didn't want to get up at the crack of dawn to go, I wanted it to be a liesurely day, so we didn't rush around all morning.
We went out to the beach, and I have to say that it was very relaxing. I sat in the shade for the first hour or so, then took a dip in the water with my mother, and laid on the beach and tanned. Yes, this time I really tanned because I had a base tan to work with. After we took another dip and dried off, it was fairly late in the day, we had already eaten and I had the great idea of going on a hike. We were in a State park afterall and I know almost all of them have trails. This one did in fact have a trail and it went straight up hill for about half a mile before it finally let us back down. We diverged off of the path they had gone before and into new territory, and at times we honestly thought that my dad was trying to get us lost. It felt like we were in the forrest for hours, but we had no choice really but to trust him. Even though we were in flip flops, we trucked along at a good pace and made it back to the beach in about an hour or so. I took some nice pictures along the way and I think it sort of sums up the relaxing day we had.
Mysterious Mushrooms, Stump... with a chipmunk that was not the focal point till after we took the picture, Some plant that I like because it is spiky, the view of the lake, the view of a field next to our picnic area.
