We decided to take a trip to Quechee, VT this afternoon. The younger kids hadn't seen Quechee Gorge yet. It is an impressive 165 ft. gorge. I could not take pictures from the bridge down into the gorge because...well...I was scared! My legs felt like jelly! So, I convinced my family to quickly get off the bridge and we walked the trail down into the gorge. At the bottom, there are rocks people can walk out on and wade or swim in the river. It's very pretty. Dad took the kids out on the rocks to play in the water. My footwear, while pretty and new, was not suitable for climbing on rocks, so, I stayed up on a bench and took pictures of them...thank goodness for 15X zoom!! Soccer boy stayed on the bench also, so he could save his energy for his soccer game later in the afternoon. Fashionista daughter was wearing even LESS sensible shoes than I, but she did manage to navigate her way over the rocks without breaking an ankle. There is actually a railroad bridge that was first built in the 1800's (late, I think) and a guided tour which would make a great homeschool field trip!!! Maybe in the fall, nice foliage, cooler weather.
