The Lake Round 2

Why do I love this place so much?
Maybe it's the perfect scenery...it's called Lake Pleasant...need I say more?
Maybe it's time with family...


 



Maybe it's the history...I spent entire summers up here with both sides of my family...
I worked on staff at the family camp...
I played with cousins...
I learned to water ski...
I always dreamed that I would bring my children here. Zack isn't quite old enough to water ski but he did enjoy the boat rides and the sand...

I love bringing Adam here because I can actually see him relax a little. This year Zack made sitting on the beach reading a book impossible, but father and son did have some bonding time...

Zack was extra clingy and I'm sure it was to make up for two weeks without daddy time.
We had a blast and even spent the day in Saratoga Springs which is so fun to visit around race season...
Zack and I love this restaurant because they give you crayons AND popcorn!


Can you tell he LOVED the carousel?

A toddler, a preggo and a man on vacation go into an Irish Pub...

In the end if there is any one thing that brings me back each summer it has to be the smores...

***At some point I will get the pictures off my phone to fill in the blanks!

The Lake

This is my favorite place on earth!
 When we arrived Zack decided to go straight into the lake so I hung our wet clothes and put on our suites.
 I was so happy that so many of my cousins were up at the same time

And Zack kinda liked it too...
 He never quite mastered the shovel but that doesn't mean he didn't have fun in the sand.
 What 1 year old doesn't like haveing the attention of grandparents, great grandparents great aunts and uncles and second cousins?  They all really enjoyed Zack but I am sure they all needed a rest after we left.
he wasn't so sure about the boat at first but after cousin Kurt started driving fast and over bumps he was screaching in delight

This was after throwing his ball in the pond and before falling and hitting his head on a rock

The COTW carnival

I wore this same lifejacket as a toddler...we wore these the whole time on the beach and dock.

Catching minnows

I'm ready for another smore

I don't know where he gets this stuff...he just picked up the racket and smashed his face

You can't beat a surprise visit from Grandpa.

You can't beat boat rides, family and smores!!!!
