Flume Gorge

Home sweet home. The kids are watching Peppa Pig, and picking up some groceries at C Mart helped me appreciate the uniqueness of Chinatown.. after a few days of New Hampshire life. Without vegetables. And without Green tea and thus without much pooing. Gross but important.

On our way back from Glenn NH we stopped at the Flume Gorge. it was like $15 to go in and we passed Clark's trading post to go there so I was wondering what Grace was thinking. In fact, at one point on the trail, I thought the path ended... before the main event.
Basically they built a nice wooden path right through a beautiful waterfall and gorge. That costs money and is worth the $15 bucks. Of course for much of the walk I had to carry at least one child and often both of them.

Jonah saw most of the waterfall upside down because he kept squirming and wanted to go right up to or perhaps over the edge. And for once he requested to be carried on his shoulders. I usually prefer this because it is easier, but instead I held him like a pole arm, low and against my body, below the level of the guard rails. Just in case. And he was squirming a lot.

The gorge is a beautiful magical looking walk through an enchanted looking forest of lichen and trees growing from rocks and water cascading through it creating rainbows. Not to mention several caves you can go up to if you are a little older than my kids. I carried Jonah up to the "bear cave" It was definitely worth it and it's highly touristy though. Diana's baths is definitely more interactive in that you can actually go into a waterfall and into the baths. But I imagine that would have been pretty dangerous for our current age and development and rebellious stage. Basically it's all Jonah's fault. Well sometimes Noah too but usually he is too timid to do anything dangerous. Definitely worth the trip though.
