Saranac Lake Adventure
Gramma and Papa rented a pontoon boat for the day and off we went to Saranac Lake. We had a great day swimming, island-hopping, loon-watching, and cruising around with 2 kids, 3 dogs, and 4 adults.

| Turkey Vultures - They could be the very ones depicted in the "Jungle Book". |

| Papa Loon, prior to this shot, he swam away from mom and baby pretending to have a hurt wing. What a good dad. |
 |
| The baby dove for safety... this was a splash he made after coming up for air and jumping back in. |

Santa's Workshop, North Pole, NY
Aunt Tricia spoiled us with a trip to the North Pole, featuring the world's smallest, jerkiest roller coaster (which my kids wanted to go on repeatedly... Tricia and I decided once was more than enough for us).

| Why do they have such crazy hooves? Well... when they are not flying, Santa's crew doesn't want to sink in the snow, so their hooves spread out to act like snowshoes. |
Home Away From Home
Hanging out at Gramma and Papa's house in AuSable Acres. Our hometown excitement included a house burning down in the middle of the night one street over, a bank robbery (not long after we stopped there to make a deposit), and a few dog fights with injuries to both dogs and humans (specifically gramma, and Aunt Tricia... well, really Tricia's were cat injuries).
