I had heard about this place in Green Mountain Falls that had a temporary setup of musical swings with a waterfall a short hike away. My parents were in town and my mom decided to join us.
Firstly we walked up to the waterfall which had a little bridge and a several landings to play in. And play we did!
We brought Syl along. At one point, a big brutish dog appeared without a collar. It came along the trail so I thought an owner would come up behind but nope. I kept Syl back and thankfully the dog turned back around. I don't know what I would have done if it was aggressive!
I always find this kid in perfect picture poses.
Then we hiked back. "Hike" is a stretch, it was really a walk through some roads (steep ones, though) both dirt and paved and a small trail. But if you're wearing a water backpack, it's official.
Wren went at her own pace. As always.
A nice little lake at the park with a few ducks to watch.
And the main event! The musical swings.
I still am not totally sure how it worked, I think the movement of a swing would activate a little melody. I couldn't tell if stronger swinging made it louder or anything. The tune would change even with the same number of swingers. However it worked, it was cool.
Wren's attention, though, was solely on the stream nearby.
Just splashing, strolling, and moving rocks.
And then it was time to go (doesn't she make the most achingly pitiful face?). We stayed there for hours since the kids were having such a nice time. Now the swings are gone and I hope they return someday!
