Adirondacks 2015

Whew- we have been really busy this Summer and I hope that I will catch up on documenting things, but I thought I better start with last weekend.  
On Thursday morning we packed the car and headed on a 4 hour drive East to Old Forge NY.  We set up our campsite and started out vacation in the Adirondacks.  I read that the Adirondacks are bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, and the Grand Canyon combined!  It's really huge & so beautiful.  I love seeing all the lakes, the pine trees, hearing the loons at night, and just being with my family.

Here are some pictures of what we did: 
Our tent site on Nick's Lake~

 There were LOTS of ice cream places everywhere.
