Our whirlwind summer - one month after it all ended! Oops!!

Wow, it's been a LONG time since we've posted anything!!! SO sorry!!

So when we last posted anything, we were in Ithaca visiting Tim & Jill and Molly & Grant.

Our next visit took us to CT to see the Ashmans!

The next stop on our whirlwind summer was back in NY to visit Bob in the mansion in which he lived for the summer!

Next stop: Fredonia, and visiting Travis, Amber, and Isaac!

After that, we spent half a week running a table for Gospel for Asia at Kingdom Bound, a Christian Music event at Darien Lake.

During that time, we camped at Darien Lake State Park, where Amanda baked bread for us! Yay!!

Kai also got to ride on his first Ferris Wheel!!

After a day in Rochester, the next stop was camping in Sterling, NY w/Matt & Sarah for the Renaissance Fest! Huzzah!

After all the traveling, we finally stopped at Rochester for a few more weeks.

In that time, Kai had his first Dental appointment!!

And, as a final treat for the Summer: Micaiah's SECOND birthday!!! So that was our summer in a nutshell. Soon we'll post about Minnesota, but we'll give you a couple of days to process this first...it's a lot of info!

...and then we'll start with the trip to MN and why we owe Ashley dearly....

Ithaca!

This weekend we visited Tim & Jill and Molly & Grant in Ithaca, and among the fun things we got to do - Kai got to ride in his first Kayak!

Canoeing the Erie Canal

We canoed Spencerport to Adam's Basin last week!

Last Day in Colton, and up another mountain!

We’ve had a busy week, with packing and cleaning. Still, we’ve managed to stay (mostly) sane. We even had a going-away picnic at our place after church on Sunday!

After packing up our wonderful place in Colton, we headed for Rochester via the Adk’s. In doing this, stopped by Piercefield and to the top of Kai’s second mountain, Mt Arab. He loved it! (as did we!) Poor Kai, though…he’s going to be convinced that all mountains have fire towers on the top of them! :)

Mt Azure

Today we went hiking to the top of Azure Mountain.

It was fun...and while it wasn't Kai's first mountain

(there was the one we climed to the top of in Sri Lanka last July),

it was the first mountain that Kai has helped climb!

After descending the mountian, we went canoeing in the St Regis.

We don't have pictures of that this time, though.

Paddling again

We went paddling yet again today, this time at Tupper Lake!

We're getting better at remembering the camera too!

We've been doing a LOT of canoeing lately! Today we went to the marsh at Indian Creek Nature Center in Rensselaer Falls. This area's only opened to the public during 2 weeks a year, and we got to paddle it!
