Up at Camp, Part Two

At long last, here are more photos from our trip to camp the first week of July. We spent two nights in Lake Placid and then another at camp with Mom and Dad.

Placid included a wealth of miniature golf games. The two courses there are truly impressive.

Josh liked to contribute to the game by  fetching Mommy's golf ball and putting it manually in the hole for her.

Sam got to do a little bungee trampolining again.

Sam and I took our first hike together involving any  real climbing.  The Adirondack High Peaks region is right next to Placid, and right at the base camp is Mt. Jo. It's nothing to the big climbers, but just perfect for a 6-year-old. It's a one-mile hike each way, with a 700-ft vertical climb. You start on the shores of Heart Lake and from the top you are able to look out at the nearby high peaks, as well as down at Heart Lake.

We ate at a pizza place in Placid which we discovered last year. It has a balcony overlooking Mirror Lake, which is next to "downtown".

We were in Placid for the 4th, so we watched the parade, which included the Governeur marching band. 

And the Scottish club.

Back at camp Grandad got Sam's help screwing down a plank on the deck. (This is, I think, the last known photograph of the old deck. It's being replaced as we speak.)
