Happy Birthday Jim Thorpe

We went up to Glen Onoko yesterday to hike. Abby did the first 1-2
miles by herself which was amazing because it was a rock scramble! I
carried her the rest of the way up in the ergo pack and then she
walked most of the way down! At the top we ate lunch at a swimming
hole which Abby tried to swim in but the water was REALLY COLD! She
dropped her apple here and it floated downstream and then over a huge
waterfall!

After hiking we went to town. The train isn't running yet but they
were testing the engines. It is the weekend of Jim Thorpe's birthday
celebration so they had lots of live music, a clown, and native
american dancing. Abby, Hal, and I got in the friendship circle.
(Irony of ironies, I was wearing my Cheif Illiniwek t-shirt!)
