Family Time on Fourth Lake

Every Columbus Day Weekend, we head to the Adirondacks.  Usually we stay in Old Forge, but this year we rented a cabin on Fourth Lake, half way in between Old Forge and Inlet.  For the second year in a row, we found our rental through this website, Adirondack By Owner Website,

We had a fantastic weekend!  Check out the slide show below and roll your cursor over to see captions.

Fall Harvest Festival

A few weeks ago we attended the Fall Harvest Festival at the Helmer Nature Center, here in Irondequoit. (Helmer Nature Center Website )  This was our first year attending, but I think we will go every year from now on.  Here are Heidi, Derek & Kip enjoying the live music.

I am a fan of folk music and this friendly banjo player set a wonderful atmosphere for the day.

Waiting for our turn on the hay ride.

There were so many activities for the kids to choose from.  Of course we had to buy tickets to participate, but we tried to pick out the best and then we can try the rest next year (like riding the ponies!)
