Boonton.

Today i went to see the Boonton waterfall! and do you know what? IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER! even if you combine all my birthdays and christmas's EVER, it doesn't even come CLOSE to what i did today! first i saw the manmade waterfall. then i saw this HUGE natural one. but the highlight was Twin-Tree falls, which i named myself. it's roughly northwest of indian rock, just follow the stream. it's this little waterfall that goes way up, and has two tree's at the top with it's roots tangling about in the water. it collects down at the bottom of the hill to form a pool. i thought about calling it chimney falls, because it falls over something that looks like a circular chimney, but Twin-Tree falls sounds prettier. anyway, i climbed up to the top, and it was spectacular from there! i saw some baby plants growing where the dirt collects in the crooks of trees, and some moss that was getting ready to release spores. but seriously though, it looked spectacular! just a few feet from Twin-Tree Falls are two logs, which strech over what i can only imagine used to be a river. i walked across one of them real fast. next to the two logs are the ruins of the, um... something something chimneys. i climbed all over those too. afterwards, i headed back to indian rock, and climbed up it. my cousin came with me, and he climbs really well for a five year old! the only problem is, he seems to have no fear, and he keeps walking dangerously close to cliffs. eep! well, anyway, the wind was blowing real hard up there. i got to experience how much harder wind is up high firsthand! afterwards it was time to start heading back to the playground. we took this really remote little path. at one point i noticed that someone had worn a path down to the river. upon further inspection, i saw that it led down to this huge rock right in the middle of the river! what could i do but climb down on it? it was really cool from there. well we kept walking, and found another little ledge that everyone explored. there i found a pudding stone and two freshwater shells! well, eventually we ended up back at the playground, and i taught my grandma how to play mancala. we had a good game. afterwards we all shared what we learned that day, and what was our favorite part. and for "homework", we all did representational dances! yay! all in all, it was a really awesome day. the end.
