Stickney Brook & Memorial Park

Today, after we went to the weekly farmer's market and ate vegan somosas, we went to Stickney Brook located right outside Brattleboro city limits near Dummerston. The brook was not merely a brook--but one with many small waterfalls. The water was immensely cold, almost unbearable to stand in--but that did not stop us from having a day of fun. Wilbur, who joins us in all our family outings, had a particularly great time and was braver than the rest of us- submersing his entire body.

After the brook we went on a small hike at Memorial Park. Nic and Seth climbed trees while I attempted to climb a tree.. The experience was awesome minus the presence of black flies--small, gnat like flies that swarm your face. Relief is only found while hold your hands over your head as the flies are drawn to the highest point of the body.
Close to the hiking trail is a stage for plays and such. Nic doesn't agree with me, but I think it would be pretty sweet to make up a play to perform with Seth. We do not need an audience or anything. It would be fun in itself to be able to perform on a stage in a park.
