Vacation in the Adirondacks

I'm back and just like I promised, I have lots of photos to share. So many in fact, that I decided to make a slideshow of all my favorites to share with you.

Our vacation was set at Holiday Shores in Eagle Bay, NY which is just north of Old Forge, NY on Fourth Lake. We rented a small cottage with Grandma Peterson that was right next door to a much larger house that my Uncle George & Aunt Lou Lou rented along with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Roger (or as I like to call him "Goger"), Pam & Jeff along with all their kids. The kids included my cousins, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna, Kaitlyn and Kristen (Kath & Roger's girls), and Emilee and Andrew (Pam & Jeff's daughter and son). This meant that there were lots of people to entertain me and play with me!! Andrew is super cool and has lots of toys that I loved, like cars and trucks. He was even nice enough to give me a few. My favorite by far was a yellow bus he gave me. I think I must have gone up to just about everyone to show them my "busssss".

My Aunt Shel, Uncle Joe and cousins, Cohen and Cooper joined us for a few days early in the week. We did things lots of fun things like playing in the sand, feeding the ducks, and taking a walk into Eagle Bay for ice cream. I loved the beach and spent a lot of time there during the week. There were all sorts of toys that other kids from the other camps at Holiday Shores brought down to share. My favorite things were the dump trucks that I could fill with sand or send racing down the ramp. I also like to throw the sand into the water and watch it splash. One thing I didn't like was sand in my mouth! Yucky! I wasn't much for the water, but neither was my dad. It was pretty cool. By the end of the week, I got a little more adventuresome and waded out until the water was up to my knees.

Mom and Dad think that Theodore and I grew up a ton over the week while we hung out with all our older cousins. I learned how to feed myself with a fork. I learned how to say my name along with the names of everyone else we saw on vacation. I learned a ton of new words! Theodore is smiling, laughing, and cooing a lot more. He even has learned how to reach out and grab for things (i.e. toys, blankets, noses).

Saturday was our last day and we were packed up to leave the camp just after 11, but instead of heading right home, Mom, Dad, Thedore and I headed further north up to Blue Mountain Lake where the Adirondack Museum is. They were having a special event called "Dog Days of Summer" and dogs were allowed in the museum. They had all sorts of demonstrations and events for dogs. Delia and Blossom turned out to be an exhibit themselves as tons of people stopped us and asked to pet them. They were very good puppies the whole day! Daddy took them in the pooch parade and they got to walk around with all the other dogs that were there. It was a great way to end a great week!
