The Falls of the Eternal Flame...

Liam,

Part of what your mom and I intend to share with you is that there is a lot of beauty in the world.  We have both had the opportunity to see so many amazing things in our lives.

For example, long before you were born, back in the dark ages when your mom couldn't imagine that we might ever have an awesome little weeble together, we took a hike in Arizona that led us to a natural hot spring.  It was like a hot tub built by nature just for us at the end of a long hike through the desert.



And here's us having fun at a real life Oasis at the bottom of the Grand Canyon:





I'll give you a couple minutes to stop laughing at how silly we must look to you...
There.  Got it out of your system?  Okay...

Well, this weekend, we took a little hike out to another one of these natural wonders that happens to be pretty close by where we live.  Even if we don't still live in Buffalo at some point later in life, I am pretty confident that we will end up taking you to this place because of how cool it is.

It's call the Falls of the Eternal Flame.  It gets its name because of the fact that behind the waterfall there is a natural gas deposit.  It just kind of leaks out of the spot behind the waterfall.  The area smells like gas because of it.  But the cool part is that you can light it and it creates a steady flame behind the water.


Pretty cool, huh?  It's just one of the many amazing natural wonders that the world has to offer if you're willing to go exploring a little.

And that's why we drag you to all of the places that we do... your mom and I are always on the lookout for the next little amazing thing that the world is hiding just around the next bend.
