Summer Vacation 2015

We got back from this trip more than a month ago so I suppose it's about time I blog about it. Is it just me or is summer flying by! How is it mid-August already? Yeesh.

In early July we packed up the kids, the cousins and Nana and Gramps and headed up to the Lake George area of the Adirondacks for a week of fun in the sun rain. Despite it being July, it was rainy and cold for 75% of the week. Super fun when you're camping. But we made the best of it and no matter what the weather does, a week away with family is still an adventure.

Like last year we rented a small cabin on a lake in southern Maine. This year we also brought our pop-up camper and along with my brother's family, set up camp in the woods behind the house. Both kids did great sleeping in the camper. Cece spent most nights sleeping on one side with James and Sully of course snuggled up to me so that he could nurse on demand. Lucky kid.

We spent most days just hanging around the lake, doing a little boating, a little fishing and a lot of hanging around in the cabin to escape the cold and rain (yes, that fire is to keep us warm!).

We visited Lake George, visited trains and played mini golf for (Cece's) first time. We hit up all the local ice cream shops and spent a few days doing various day hikes. Cece really loved hiking and did really well walking on her own up and down tricky terrain.

Summit had fun too.

The weather could have been nicer but the company we kept was the best. Can't wait to start planning for next year's vacation!
