Savoy Mountain Day 3

Today we headed back home.

Julia helping Andy pack up the tarp.


They have a lot in common...




Our last little hike was probably the best one. Kind of steep going up, but it's only 1.5 miles. The top had a nice view and, more importantly, a nice breeze.








We also had a nice view of rain clouds...


We came back down and drove home in the rain.


Another very relaxing weekend. :)

Savoy Mountain Day 2

The weather forecast was such that it could have been raining all the time, or just a little cloudy. We got a few clouds, a little rain overnight, but mostly sunny/cloudy during the day. Fine for camping and hiking.

Julia, Marcia and Downie having breakfast.


A little hiker we met on the trail.


A robin near the pond.


Julia made a few friends, including Megan.




I spent some time chasing butterflies...


We also kept a close watch on a birdhouse.


The little guy would peek out once in a while and fly off.


Once he flew off, you had to be pretty quick on the shutter to catch him.


Support Aaaarrrrrttt!

Savoy Mountain Day 1

We spent a few days camping in Savoy Mountain this weekend. It's the fourth time in the last 2 or so years, probably because it's relatively close, accessible, and very relaxing.

Here are a few pictures from the first day, relaxing on the side of "North Pond".


Julia kept collecting flowers for Andy and Marcia who were to join us later that day.






Splashing back and forth on the beach was also a big hit.


Sometimes Julia could do both at once.


Finally, Andy and Marcia got there, and old friends were reunited again.




Julia had fallen off a guardrail earlier... :(


Then, after dinner, a nice fire by the tents.


Shining a light through a cheek shows the inside of your mouth!


More to come...

Noo Yawk

This is how a day-trip to NYC starts:

The playgrounds in Central Park are huge!




From last week


Those are flower petals in her hair.  Our apple tree was in bloom and it 'rained'.
