Taking a Tour By The Delaware River at Delaire Landing

 

Taking a tour down by the Delaware river with my granddaughter Olivia. At Delaire Landing we went exploring  We saw big giant trees   We walked through lots of crunchy colorful leaves 

 

Squirrels seemed to be what fascinated Olivia the most . They were hopping and running through the leaves and onto the trees  We sat on the park bench for a few minutes and watched the river but not for long   We continued to walk down toward the observation deck .

Suddenly we saw what at first what we thought was a cat but it was a raccoon  When it saw us it took off down the hill   Olivia could not believe how scared she was.. I explained the Raccoon ran because  it was more afraid of her then she was of it   We continued our exploration toward the observation deck   When we got to our destination   She said " Nannie it is so peaceful and beautiful "

 

On our way back I explained about George Washington coming down the Delaware  river in his boat to get bread for his troops during the Revolutionary War.  The grounds here and at Delaire Landing and at Bakers Bay  were once a huge Estate  I was explaining this  when suddenly this really big skunk was about 20 feet in front of us   I told her not to move   I was much more scared then she was   Look a skunk she called out I told he to move really slow and not leave go of my hand    The skunk was on the left of us  .I said we were moving toward the right slowly toward the river    She is a chatterbox    I said don't talk just keep on walking soon we were far way from the skunk and laughing    She was telling me everything she knew about skunks .

 What a wonderful place to live. I have seen Eagles and even deer at Delaire Landing   Skunks not my favorite animal but really didn't bother us   Someone was leaving food in containers where the skunk was heading  that was where we spotted the Raccoon   Did not take a picture of the skunk for obvious reasons.

 

We were glad to get back and Olivia was tired Me I was shook up

Hannah Williams - I will keep little Aidan in my prayers; Olivia too. The first trip was with Olivia - she needed one-on-one. The next trip will be with her little Brother and it will be interesting to hear what she tells him about how much she remembers from you! Oh, how I wish I could tag a long and snap candid shots of the three of you from afar without notice.

Through a child's eyes, grandparents are never old. You feed them more than cookies - you feed their soul with joy that is immeasurable and you can't put a price tag on quality time with loved ones, especially the little children.

That was certainly an eventful walk at Delaire Landing. I enjoy seeing the wildlife but there are certain ones I want to see at a distance! Neat little bit of history that you shared! Thanks!

Bob "RealMan" Timm  oh the squirrels seem to amaze her and the skunk to not me shook me up quite a bit

Jeff Dowler CRS  It was quite an eventful adventure that walk we took . I love the crunching of the leaves beneath my feet and it was so beautiful with all the leaves falling all around us . Yes it is kind of fun when you find the old stone steps leading to the river from days gone by ,

Thank you both for your comments
