Weekend at Pinetree Hollow

We spent the weekend at Pinetree Hollow, which is the name of my Aunt Jane & Uncle Gary's camp. I've been up there in the summertime, but this was my first trip in the colder weather, and instead of there being lots of people, it was just Daddy, Mom Mom, Teddy and me with Aunt Jane & Uncle Gary. That meant there was plenty of space for me to spread out my toys and lots of attention directed my way!

We stopped to see my Mom's Great-Aunt Arlene on the way up. She is 90 years old! I liked to grab the magnets off her refrigerator and push the huge number buttons she had on her phone. She thought I was quite a little spitfire as I ran back and forth from her kitchen into her livingroom. We got up to camp in time to have dinner with Aunt Jane & Uncle Gary, but before too long it was time for bed. Teddy and I had on our matching pajamas and got to curl up with Uncle Gary for a while. He got to see all my trucks, trains and buses that I brought along with me.


We hung around camp in the morning and had a super yummy breakfast of French Toast that Aunt Jane made. Once everyone was ready, we packed up in the car again and headed north to the Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks in Tupper Lake. Mom and Dad took me there last summer when I was about Teddy's age (6 months) and I loved it, especially watching the otter named Squeeks. This time it was even more fun!!
Aunt Jane, Daddy and I touched the big ice block. I learned that there once was ice all over that formed the mountains in the Adirondacks and the hills around my house!
Teddy and Mommy tried the ice too!
I spent more time in the interactive room this year. I really like the rustic block set.

Of course, I went back to visit my old friend Squeeks. He had a new friend with him this time. If you look closely, you can see Daddy and Teddy on the other side of the tank watching the otters too.



My favorite part this year was watching all the fishies....


I took a walk around the nature path with Mom and Dad. I took a photo with my mom on this rock over a year ago...boy have I changed since then!!

This time I was big enough to walk around the bridge with Dad. Last year he had to carry me because I couldn't even walk yet. I hope we come back every year. Just think of all Teddy will be able to do by next year!

Thanks Uncle Gary and Aunt Jane for a great weekend!! We love you!!

Ty and Ted, thanks for sharing a part of your world! The picture of you sitting on Uncle Gary's lap reminds me of a picture of Uncle George and I sitting on Grandpa Button's lap when we were about your age! Love you and look forward to seeing you again soon!
