We just got back after two glorious weeks in Twilight Park. For those of you who don't already know, Twilight is a summer community in the Catskill Mountains of New York. It was founded over one hundred years ago by some of my (Ashley's) forbearers, and our home there has been in our family since that time. Twilight is where we go to rest, unplug, enjoy God's beautiful creation, and reconnect with one another.
The first week we were there, we enjoyed the company of Dick and Madeline, Andy's dad and step-mom. The kids had lots of fun with Grandpa and Grandma as did we. Some high-lights include visiting on the porch, reading, doing a puzzle, splashing in the creek, going to the playground, shopping at a local farm, playing board games at night, a visit from a bear, eating at our favorite mountain-top restaurants, Andy going mountain biking, and Ashley attending a birthday party for some of her childhood friends.
Week two was all about rest. We did a lot more reading, laid in the hammock, went to the pool, played more games, did another puzzle, went hiking, had another visit from the illusive bear, ate ice cream with sprinkles, went to story hour at the library, got together with old friends and watched our kids become friends, picked blueberries, soaked in the claw-foot bathtub, and enjoyed walking to nearby waterfalls and soaking in the scenery. It was hard work, but someone had to do it.
There is so much to share, so look for more blog posts about Twilight soon!
