New York--Jewelery time!

My Aunt Linda, Uncle David, cousin Brian, mom, and I had a good time looking through all of grandma's old jewelery. . .



New York--Even more of the kids AGAIN (I forgot some!)

Lilian was cuddled up in bed. . .

but the first night, this is the bed she preferred (on the ground)



Rhianna and Lilian dancing on the deck:

New York--The Aunts

By far, our favorite meal of the trip was when we went to my great Aunt Fannie's house for dinner. She makes the BEST food, and most of it is fresh from her garden. The meal was topped off by fresh, hot strawberry rhubarb pie made with strawberries from her garden. . . yum! A few of the other Aunts joined us, and we had a great time catching up.

The group:

New York--The Lake

Our camp was just a short walk to the great Sacandaga Lake. Unfortunately, we were so busy for our 9 days that we were in New York, we only had time to go swim in the lake once! But we enjoyed it.










New York--Even More of the Kids!


This is where Lilian fell asleep most nights.
Swinging with the kids at grandpa's house
Poor Draven dropped all his chocolate chip pancakes on the ground! He wasn't quite sure what to do about it.

New York--More of the kids!

Even Lilian enjoyed her headlamp!

Rhianna playing nice with Lilian. We can enjoy it while it lasts, right?
The kids loved to sit on the couch on the screened in porch and watch Shrek 2 (because it was on EVERY night) on the huge tv!

The kids slept on the pull out couch bed every night. . . once they finally went to bed!

New York--The Kids

Lilian. . . giving me the "I'm not so sure about you" look.

Rhianna--she'll always be "my girl" even if she's getting too old to call me that anymore!
What would Lilian possibly be doing besides eating??
Draven loved the headlamp we brought him!
And so did Rhianna, though she lost hers the first night :-) They missed "the guy who had these last year!" (Phil!)

We spent almost every evening with Jen and her three adorable kids at our camp.
