ADK2012

After 5 years of trying to make it happen, Doug & I were FINALLY able to do an Adirondack trip with Jeremy & Victoria! Before this trip, I hadn't been to the Daks since I visited Kathleen there... which I want to say was when I was in like, 6th grade?? Shameful.

Back seat buddies:

Um, I'm obsessed with the following video. Would you look at this little musical prodigy?!

And then when he says "Adirondacks!" - AMAZING.

Beautiful scenery...

A little mama&son smooch.

The boys grilling up a delicious meal of Excelsior steak...

Post dinner walk down to Heart Lake.

Still can't believe this girl camps at 6 months pregnant...

Dad snapping pics of his little show off :)

The boys.

So, Colden is quite the little swimmer. And he also loves watching other children swim.

These next pictures he was just quietly watching in awe as a boy splashed around in the lake.

The next day, Doug & Jer woke up at 4AM to go climb 2 high peaks (Nye&Street). Crazies.

Then later that day, I made Doug climb Mt. Joe with me.

I haven't done a high peak yet, but this climb gave me a little flavor, and I'm pumped to do my first!

Handsome hiker.

Summit!

That afternoon, we went to Lake Placid, where we went to a bunch of fun shops 

& had delicious dinner. After dinner, we drove around Mirror Lake & took in the gorgeous sunset. 

Such a perfect weekend... 

(Um, minus the last 20 miles. Another story for another time.)

VJ&C - Can't wait to start planning the next trip with you guys!
