Last week we had our cousins visiting and took a riverboat ride - in the rain - on the Pride of the Susquehanna. The kids really enjoyed this. The water was really dirty looking and we found it interesting that in my water bill, there was a letter explaining that the Susquenhanna is a back-up water source in case of drought. The kids got right down on the bottom level and watched the "dirty" water go by with occasional pieces of garbage floating in it. What an ecology lesson right there. All the things that they learned from the Watershed association about water pollution came spilling out. Although, a couple days later we went hiking up Cunningham Falls and the kids splached, played and drank the "clear, fresh" water only to find out that the park has banned swimming that day due to bacteria in the water. So I guess you never know... Anyway here are some photos from The Pride of the Susquehanna.
