Welcome to our new Blog!
It seems as though we overloaded our picture allowance in Tripp's blog, so we used a new email address and started this one. This time our blog will be about all of our adventures.
Columbus Day Weekend was full of activities for all of the Copley's.
1st, I left for an overnight backpack with my Outdoors Club. We decided to hike Bear Mountain on the AT (Appalachian Trail)
GHS Outdoors Club 2009-10
It was a girls weekend
Bob & Tripp stayed home, while Cedar & I hit the trail
15 students, 2 advisers, 1 teacher volunteer & 1 parent hiker!
Such a good girl! Cedar wore her booties for the steep climb up Bear Mountain. I guess she remembers tearing up her paws in the Adirondacks.
In the summer of '2006, while I was newly pregnant with Tripp, we went hiking in the high peaks region of the Adirondacks, and then canoeing in the 1000 lakes of NY. During these trips, Cedar tore up her paws and we had to give her puppy first aide. We cleaned her wounds, put some first aide ointment on her , wrapped her paws in gauze, ace bandaged her paws (with special dog bandages) and then bought these booties. We would repeat this process several times a day.
Lesson learned: when hiking rocky mountain tops = wear booties!

The kids couldn't believe there was a "toilet" in the middle of the woods!

When I got home, Bob went to a concert - Yonder Mountain String Band. A Bluegrass Jam Band that we LOVE. We could've gotten a babysitter, but I figured my body would be aching from backpacking, so my booty shaking would be limited. Instead I opted to stay home and snuggle with Tripp.

He had a great time with good friends and booty shaking tunes!
On Columbus Day, Bob went to work and Tripp & I met up with friends, Lukas & Erin at Buell's Orchards for their Fall Festival.
