Camp, Part 2

Here are some photos from the first half of our trip to camp.

First off, the annual trip to the Black Lagoon. This time, canoeing. The locals have kept it up nicely.

Here's a little boat ride that Bobby Doran was kind enough to take the boys on. They were thrilled! Josh was almost more excited about the sonar equipment which showed the location of fish we were passing over. But they both left the ride sure that we need to get a motor boat.

We got a new TV! We all pitched in and it was a real delight, since we were there for week 1 of the olympics.

Okay, we wanted to document for posterity the statue in Gouverneur of the giant roll of Lifesavers. We never fail to point it out to the boys and they never fail to quietly wonder why.

Josh, spying on folks out on the lake.

This is on our Black Lagoon trip--we stopped for a picnic lunch at the end of the peninsula next to the state park. 

This is Josh's nest on the floor in the middle bedroom.

That canoe trip again. We found a little passageway which splits off the end of another peninsula of state park land, this one by the main channel of the Raquette. 

It's becoming a tradition to take the boys into the dollar store and give them each $1 to spend. Also a tradition (second year running) for Sam to get fake teeth with his dollar. 

Just love the view of the lake from the screened-in porch in the evenings.

Ain't that sweet?

Susan, by virtue of an unfortunate foot ailment, got some extra reading time this vacation, and made good use of it!

Another view I never tire of--up, from the deck.
