Bowling Part 2

The Sunday before we came home, we all went bowling. Josh told me that this was nothing like "Wii Bowling". I think Megan is the only child I know who can get the ball stuck in the middle of a bowling lane, not once, or twice but like 12 or 13 times. They both did very well bowling, Josh rolled a 90 and Megan rolled a 72!

Vacation for the Dogs TOO!!




My Mom lives just above of the Boquet River. I remember swimming in it when I was younger. So Don and I took the kids and the dogs down to the river! I did fall on my butt/back trying to get some good pixs of the dogs in the river...BUT I did not drop or even get a drop of water on my camera!!

Our Next House!


As we were driving to Fort Ticonderoga we drove by this house and Josh said that this was going to be our next house!

Fort Ticonderoga


When Don went back to Texas, the kids and I played tourist. We went to Fort Ticonderoga. And I hate to say that I lived 45 mins from the place and had never been! If you are a fan of the show "Ghost Hunters" you may have seen the episode that they did in the Fort. And yes they did find some Paranormal activity!!
The Fort is really cool, the kids had a lot of fun. Josh did say that it is really small. They also have a beautiful garden area, called the King's Garden and there is a awesome house that has a historical marker the state: Near here on July 30,1609 Samuel De Champlain aided by two Frenchmen and Huron and Montagnais allies defeated a band of Iroquois Warriors. And the house was built by Champlain. Josh did say he would like to go back. I did take a lot of pix.

Happy Late 4th of July!

I know I am almost a month late but "Happy 4th Of July" We got to watch the 3rd of July parade in Essex, NY. Yes, I said the "3rd" of July for some odd reason they had the parade a day early. The kids had so much fun. All Josh wanted was candy!

There is an awesome Apple Orchard about 30 min's. from my parents house that has Strawberries patch in the summer and Pumpkins and Apples in the fall.(They also have the best doughnuts) The kids had so much fun! Josh and Megan both kept asking if "This one is good to pick?" We picked 7 pounds of strawberries!

A Really Cool Tree!!!


We were on our way to Lake Placid and we stopped at the Cascade Lakes and I saw a really cool tree. And of course I made the kids stand in front of it so I could take photos of them. Enjoy!

Back From New York!

Ok We are back for New York and almost all unpacked and everything put away. Here is the first of many posts. The kids had so much fun! I think Megan is part fish. The video speaks for itself!!

She jumped in the pool over and over again like that until her lips turned purple!! Now Josh, I think he is more like a cat.
