Daff Fest Weekend means Soap Box Dery

Ukulele Workshop

The kids participated in a Ukulele build and play workshop over the weekend. We all had a great time and now we have two new instruments in the house! Cool!!

Whiteface

Ruby, Griffin, and Daddy visited Whiteface Mountain and had a great day of skiing. The kids did awesome considering we only go downhill skiing about once a year. As they did last year, they were talking season passes for next season after we left.

 Yeah Ruby!!

Looking good! 

Tuck for speed. 

 Last run by themselves while Daddy gets the car.

Happy skiers!!

Good Friends

Good friends, Griffin and his teacher Mrs. Preall.

Marcy Dam Ski

We skied to Marcy Dam with our friends Nicholas and Sophia. The conditions were excellent, the kids did great, and the Chickadees were waiting for us.

Levi, Emmet, Jacob, Patrick, Willie, & Griffin

Ruby decided weeks ago to be an Indian Princes. Griffin on the other hand decided he wanted to be a Lumber Jack, then at 8:30AM he wanted to be a White Water Kayaker which then morphed into a Sky Diver.

Happy Halloween!!

Fall foliage bike ride

Another succesful circumnavigating of Fish Creek Ponds by the family Smith of Saranac Lake! The colors were amazing, the air was crisp, and we did it in record time!

Stand-up rider

Ruby's new larger bike made the trip much more enjoyable.

Waiting for the girls.
