family vacation

A change of scenery

Last week, before we enjoyed my mom's visit, we drove up to a YMCA camp in the Adirondack mountains. It was just about a year ago that we attempted our first family trip up to the nearby mountain range.

I think it was the last week of their off season, and the last week that I'm allowed to do any traveling because of the baby on the way.

The view was beautiful, the sound of the waves and the birds instead of helicopters and sirens and shouting... it was so refreshing!

It was a little bit (a lot) too cold for a swim, but they did have the boathouse open for a few hours one afternoon, and we took out a canoe for a ride. They even had a paddle for Zoe!

Here are Zoe and I warming up before we roast our marshmallows. We all ate too many of those, I'm sure. :)

Our vacation, in summary (part 1)

We just got back from family vacation, and it was maybe a bit more eventful than we had planned. It started off in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains for a few days, where we tried our hand at...

Canoeing! The highlight was watching a hawk dive for food to feed its babies- we could hear their little squawks coming from the nest.

Mountain Climbing! We started small but it was still quite a hike for a 2 year old.
