Buttermilk Falls

My mom is in town, so we are taking her around Ithaca to show her some of the sites. I'm posting a lot of pictures for my Dad since he got left at home. ( we miss you Dad and wish you were here) This is us in front of Buttermilk Falls.
It's a huge hike up to the top of the falls and it's just straight stairs. Joseph LOVES stairs so the minute he saw them he was on his way. Seriously, he didn't stop he was running up the stairs the whole way. The kid is in shape! He had so much fun. It really was hard to keep up with him.

To get Joseph to stop we had to put him on Todd's shoulders.
This is looking down at the park. You can see my Mom she is in the yellow shirt. Her and John sat this one out and hung out down at the park.

Seriously, can he get any cuter?
Just the cutest. He really is the sweetest boy. We lucked out!

BEAUTIMUS!! This is totally what I picture, when I picture Ithica. I'm so jealous, this is where you live. I positively adore the picture of John looking up at the camera. There's not a human being on earth who could look at that and not just smile. He's SO CUTE!!!
