its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Sept. 21-27 Adirondacks Vacation Part II

"And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." – John Muir

We spent a wonderful week in the Adirondacks. We had a great mixture of sunny days and rain. Just a few days of rain gave us a chance to take it easy and enjoy the house. Sunny days gave us time to hike and explore. There is never enough time in the Adirondack to do everything. So many great places to hike, towns to visit, views to see and out of the way places to explore. 

The house
The living area
The kitchen
The bedrooms
The basement and second floor study
This is the same view just a few days apart. We were here at the perfect time to watch the foliage change color.
Just a few photos of some of the fun we had at the house.
We enjoyed eating outside about half the time...rain kept us in the other days.
On those rainy days we played games, worked on puzzles, watched movies and painted.
The view of the house from the fire pit.
Having fun with the clean up app on my phone...one touch removed the bike. So fun.
Fun around the campfire.
Fun in the house.
One morning we had family photos taken at the Jay Covered Bridge. While we were waiting for the photographer we took a few of our own photos.
Just a few of the amazing photos the photographer took.
One afternoon we went to the Experience Outdoors. Kyle, Bryt and Graham had a blast on the zipline. Here they are getting fitted for their safety gear. 
I went along to take pictures. The views and colors were spectacular. 
The girls had fun playing on the adventure center's rope course and small zipline.
On another pretty day we hiked along the Ausable River to the Wilmington Flume Falls.
That same afternoon we played in the water near the Jay Covered Bridge. I think this was our favorite place.
Graham and Hattie didn't mind the cold water.
Everyone had fun climbing over the rocks.

And playing in the water.
After getting wet the kids rode their bike around the park and played in the leaves.
On our way home Stan and I stopped at Split Rock Falls. What an incredible place. Just one more place in the Adirondack that you could spend the day exploring.
So many place to swim and relax.
