New York Vacation- Chestertown

Our view from the condo!

Swimming out to the raft at Schroon Lake. Followed by deliciously scrumptious crepes in town!

Taking a paddle ride on Tripp Lake.

I hear what you're saying, Grampa, but I think this is a fine place for me.

Umm, our low point of the trip- heat wave!

Nope, not chocolate- mud.

Happy Birthday, Matt- date night to Friends Lake Inn. While Gigi and Grampa babysat in the heat wave, we enjoyed some fine wine in the air conditioning!

Couldn't keep this one out of the water!

"Quinn's toy"

Hiking with Sarina at Pack Forest.

A wild game of ring-around-the-rosie with Sarina.

Okay, listen up guys...

Reading time with Auntie Beth and Sarina.

There really ARE fish!!!!! Not to pat my own back, but I was the only one to catch a bass!!!

Magic Forest - not quite sure how to put it into words. How about another picture to explain:

Still not clear? This should do it:

You got it, right?

Saratoga races! Daddy was the only big winner all day!

Saratoga pretzels!

So Poppy, there are horses, gates, and jockeys. Try to keep up.

food = happy baby = happy parents = happy big sister

I'M facing the wrong way?! YOU are facing the wrong way- all the people are this way!

After the races Avery was all about a pony ride but got cold feet!

"I'm floating!"

Action shot of Poppy the crocodile!

On our way home we visited Uncle David in Burlington, VT for the weekend!

The Next Olympic Diver

Day at Highfield with Poppy

Snack time poolside.

Poppy says I'm the best caddy he's had.

See? He would forget his own golf ball if it wasn't for me. "Poppy!"

He doesn't like my advice. His grip is all wrong.

It was a bit cool out but Daddy braved the water with me. Check out my kicks.

Starfish in August

Where I lived for two weeks- the beach!!! My swim lessons sure have paid off- mom and dad couldn't get me out of the water! And I learned to build sandcastles and dig big holes. I rode in my bike trailer everyday to the beach or farmer's market or playground!

Awwwww....

Porch time! Here is where I watched the neighborhood dogs go for walks and bunnies eat grass, watched boats and planes, ran around with my beach ball, blew bubbles, and flew a kite!

Don't worry everyone, I'm a trained lifeguard.

Help! Mommy's got me!

Go! Go! Go!

Cousin visit with Paige and Bennett! We went to the beach with Auntie Kate and Uncle Kris, played, had nap time and went out for dinner.

I think this look works for me. Nana won't mind if I borrow these.

Love from Mommy at the Narrow River where I swam in big waves with Biggie the dog and friends. We took a boat to the beach and spent the day. I'm wrapped in a towel because I lost my clothes somewhere along the way....I didn't have anything to do with that.

Picnic with friends! Fresh garden veggies and fun in the yard. Even Uncle Bryan and Sarina got to come along to the Kaiser's for a dinner picnic. I saw their chickens and pigs, played on their swings, swam in their pool and of course played with Biggie.

Don't worry dad, I can touch here.

Playing at home with Sarina! We went to the beach in the bike trailer together and played at the playground while Uncle Bryan worked- work stinks!

The Great GAS-B Laurel Island

My first swim!!

Party on

Daddy is such a good sport.
