Our family took a little mini vacation to the Adirondacks with our good friends over the February vacation this year. We stayed in the family cottage of our friend's grandparents. The picture below is our view of the frozen lake outside our window. The dads kept the kids busy cross country skiing (even Annie went 6 miles one day!), tubing, playing ice hockey, and ice skating. These dads are very fit and can still wear out the kids, but we wonder when this will flip to the kids wearing out the dads. Our first day was the best weather. Everyone skied. It was so wonderful to just ski from the back door.
There was plenty of down time as well. Lots of books and games.
We were able to spend a few afternoons at a local retreat center. The kids loved having the opportunity to do some climbing.
This is the dads' version of supervising the kids on the climbing wall.
A local guy and friend of our friend's grandparents has been feeding deer outside his back deck for 30 years. He and his wife have given all the deer names and know the family groups. They invited us over to watch feeding time one afternoon. It was really amazing. As Aidan watched mesmerized, he kept saying, "Deer. Eat."
