The Bodnar Family is on vacation!!!!

Yes, I know it has been a LONG time since I have updated my blog, and for that I am sorry. But, I think I will make up for that with our stories so far of our vacation. It was to begin on Monday morning at about 6am, however, L.Michael broke his tooth off again. (he broke it off this past May, and it fell off again on Sunday) So we had to begin a bit delayed with a visit to the dentist's office first. All was fixed and he is now smiling again. From the dentist we headed north to Pine Creek for a day of hiking (about 5miles, yes, it was hard). The view was worth it when we finally made it to the top! We were all looking out at the view when Mike decided he would go down and take a photo of myself and the boys from down below. So he hopped down, we smiled pretty and than we decided to jump down and as we did so, Nick said "Oh my God! There is a snake!!!" So we all ran away, and than I slowly stepped back to only lay my eyes on a true blue, for real, not dead, freaking timber rattlesnake!!!!!! You know, like venomous! We all just missed stepping on this thing. I was so freaked out I just wanted off the mountain. We did make it down with no further issues.We stayed at a little motel on top of the mountain and on the way down the mountain the next morning, we saw a black bear! Yup, a true to life black bear. It looked at us and we at it and than it ran up the hill and was gone.

The boys were fishing just a little while later and at our second fishing spot of the day, Nick saw a 2nd snake. It was all curled up on a bush sunning it self.

The boys finished their fishing and we got in the car and again headed north to Cooperstown NY to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We have not yet made it to the hall of fame, but the boys did get to go swimming for a littl bit in the 10mile long lake that is right behind our motel. So, as you can read, our vacation is going very well so far and everyone is enjoying themselves. Tomorrow (Wed.) we are doing the HOF and than will again head north. Will keep everyone in touch with the Bodnar family, I promise!
