Family Vacation-July 2011

It's been almost two months now and I still haven't posted photos from our vacation with Kevin's extended family at the end of July!

Well here they are, folks, what you've all been waiting patiently for...

(sorry they are a little out of order but I'm too tired to re-order them at this point)

Kevin, Kerriann and I had such a great time visiting with his family...

Exploring the town of Jim Thorpe, PA...

Playing ring around the rosie with Grammy and cousin Maddie...

Building sandcastles at the beach near our lake house...

Playing on the playground...

And at the swimming pool...

We were also able to get in a little sprinkler and kiddie pool time in the backyard... 

It was a jam-packed week and we are so glad that we were able to take some time off to spend with the people who matter most to us.  Thanks to  Kevin's aunts, uncles and parents for putting this yearly vacation together (especially Aunt Julie... I know you did a lot of work!).  We really enjoyed it and are already looking forward to next year!

Lake George: Day 2

Our second day at Lake George was a lot like our first.

We got up early, and then headed back out onto the lake for some more boating!

We anchored at one of the bays again and hung out for a few hours...

...And then had lunch at a restaurant right on the water.  I'm not sure what the name of the place was, but I will say that a few of us were very unsatisfied with our meals, unfortunately.  We ordered the chef's special wrap of the day, and the avocado was bad or something.  Such a letdown!  We originally wanted to eat lunch at the Sagamore, a gorgeous resort on Lake George, but we had bad luck there as well.  We docked our boat and waited almost half an hour for a shuttle to pick us up to take us up to the resort, and in the end we just decided it wasn't worth wasting any more time.  I guess it just wasn't our day!

Overall the weekend was amazing!  It was so great to spend time with Marshall and his family, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.  Kevin and I are both looking forward to the day when we can go back again.  We actually joked about going back while Kevin is on R&R during his deployment next summer... we'll see! ;)
