Adirondacks

As part of our whirlwind summer of fun 2009 we three Taylors set off to the Lake George area of the Adirondacks with some visiting family (Nana Ellen, Nana Frances, Auntie Katy, Gramie Cindy, and a partridge in a pear tree named Steve). Unfortunately it ended up being a very rainy day (what is this? Oregon?) but we salvaged what we could of the trip. We stopped at a small park on the lake and wandered around the small village area, visited a church which had been converted into a museum, and ate at a local brew pub.

I once again lost my parent of the year award by purchasing Austin a small banana shaped plastic candy container which contained POWDERED banana candy and apparently had an easily removable top. About 15 miles from the store my mom noticed that he was covered in yellow powder. And unlike most children which would have relished the idea of being sugar coated, he freaked. Apparently he enjoys making messes, but does not enjoy sitting in them. Duly noted.

President Roosevelt visited the Adirondacks!

Lake George. It's like the Jersey shore, but for New Yorkers. And less dirty...
