Well, we just returned from a week-long family vacation in the Adirondacks. We camped for the week at Rollins Pond, located in between Tupper and Saranac Lake. This is the third year that we have camped for a week there. It is one of our favorite Adirondack destinations.
Here is the campsite we called home for most [...]

This year, fishing took a higher priority than it has in past years. Dale can be thanked for that, as he has inspired the boys to want to fish more often.
Steve has been particularly interested in bass fishing this summer, and he has been determined to get himself photographed holding a big ole bass by the mouth. [...]

This was the early morning view from the shore in front of our campsite.

Perhaps a goatee?
“Hmmmmm… there is something I don’t like about this look.”

We had the good fortune to have last week off from work, spending all of that time on a camping vacation in the Adirondacks. For the week our front porch looked out over the serene setting of Rollins Pond, as we tent camped at the state campground there.
This is the second year that we have stayed [...]

It wasn’t the best of weather for the beach Monday afternoon, but we made the best of it. The boys had been looking forward to going to the beach.
Here are a couple of happy Yankee fans at the beach.
Nathan had an unfortunate dancing incident (hip-hop in the living room) a week before we went camping, [...]

After we finished our hike to Panther Mountain, we rented a canoe for the remainder of the day and set out to explore Rollins pond by water. We made a complete circle around the pond.
It is a nice place to canoe as they have restrictions on motor boats with motors over 20hp on the pond. [...]
