Lansford Canal State Park












So Landon has been trying to be a great big brother to Chase, but it usually starts out where they are being playful and Landon is chasing Chase around (both via the crawl) and they are both laughing and having a great time until Landon closes the door on his face or Landon is sitting on top of Chase trying to listen to his heart with his pretend doctor stethoscope, or he closes what he calls "the gate" which means he lies across a doorway so Chase cannot get through all the while Chase is crying and Landon is laughing his little devilish laugh which makes me wonder if I am raising a serial killer...

Then I was thinking maybe Landon is just a little bored and we could channel his energy elsewhere, so we ventured down to the Lansford Canal State Park today. This canal was dug by hand and used in the early 1800's to move goods from the coast inland. We also were able to see the ruins of the locks, canal culverts, and stone bridges that were used during this time. This river also played a huge role in the Revolutionary War as both British and American troops crossed here. No sibling rivalry today - both boys had a blast and passed out on the way home - it was a great morning for everyone!
