Yesterday we went to a state park in Massachusetts call Purgatory Chasm (here's a site with some more pictures of the chasm). We went with our friends Andy and Amy and their two kids. This is a fun place to go if you have kids like ours who love to climb. There are rocks every where, in all shapes and sizes, with some of them forming "caves" which the kids could explore or at least look into and wonder what kind of ferocious animal might live there (the most popular being bears). And the weather was absolutely perfect - sunny and mid sixties - an answer to prayer.
The chasm after which the park is named is not very long or deep but it is a lot of fun to climb down through it and then go around one of the rims to get back to the start. The kids did great listening to and obeying commands, which kept them safe and keep the parents from being worried. A lot of climbing, a picnic lunch, playing Frisbee, taking a walk, beautiful weather and sharing it with friends made it an extremely enjoyable day for us. We are still tired out from it :-). Even my almost 19 month-old Ellie had a blast - she did her best to keep up with the older kids and did an admirable job at climbing some of the smaller rocks. Below are some pictures from the day.

I remember when you took us to Purgatory Chasm back in BK (Before Kids)era. It was a really neat place and we still have some pictures from there in which Dad and I look a lot younger! Glad you has such a good Saturday.
Love, Mom
Looks like it was a beautiful day. Glad you got to enjoy some spring weather with family & friends. Great pictures too!

I am so glad your family had a great time together. Our family just finished a zoo trip. (Check out one of my recent blogs for more info.)
Also check out my latest blog. God is doing something wonderful in my old high school. Pray for them.
Ellie did an amazing job! What a fun day...this morning at church our trip was what the kids wanted to thank God for...even though its been a few weeks! Sweet...
