Looking back over the summer, and finally getting some summer pictures to post!, I wanted to share some of a field trip we took to a place called Hemlock Cliffs.

It’s a box canyon about 25 miles north of St. Meinrad. It was a glorious day, and the kids enjoyed the climb down into the canyon. We’ll do this again next year.

The importance of this trip was to allow the kids to see a really primitive place. It’s full of animals, and natural wonders. I’d love to go up earlier in the summer and see the waterfalls.

On the way to Hemlock, we stopped at the Benedictine Archabbey at St. Meinrad – one of seven in the world.
