Lake George 2014

No summer is complete without our annual trip to Lake George. We picked a great week to go - the weather was fantastic. And we wasted no time taking in the sites.
Cool crisp lake air makes for good sleeping.
The afternoons were just warm enough to get in some pool time.
Matthew is getting to be quite a strong swimmer.
Adirondack chairs are just different when you're actually in the Adirondacks.
We had to take a picture with the bear at our hotel.
And I had to get in some pictures with the bear too. You know, Noah Bear.
One of the perks of the place we stay is that there's a playground out back. A great way to get out some early morning energy.
We spent a day at Great Escape where we hit up every ride the boys were big enough to go on.
And some rides we went on over and over and over and over again.
We added to our stuffed animal (and crazy hat) collection.
And by the end of the day, this happened.
We spent some time in Bolton Landing on this trip and found some cute shops and a farmer's market.
We made it out to the horse rides on this trip. Still at the pony stage for both boys.
But I think Matthew will be ready for a full-size horse next year.
Of course we had to get in a picture with Batman on the strip.
And dinner at the Moose Tooth Grill.
On our last day our hotel put up a new bear - so we had to document the occasion with a picture.
And literally minutes before we got in the car to drive home, we had one more cup of ice cream.

Now we're home. Enjoying some of our favorite souvenirs from the trip (does it get better than a Bat Moose shirt??!!).
Now we wait for next year!
