Our family just got back from a great and much needed vacation to upstate New York, Trevor's family has a cabin on a lake there in the mountains. Trevor's parents live in Queensbury which is about only 30 minutes from the lake. We had two weeks of fun, at first the kids were a little scared of the water, but after a while they all became familiar with it and started to jump right in! Brooklynn who is seven now, got brave enough to go tubing, and did a fantastic good holding on to the rope. She became very comfortable in the water that she started to jump off the dock without any help from anyone else. We spent the fourth of July at the Loon Lake, and did fireworks right off the dock. 
It was a spectacular sight to see the sky over the lake filled with those bright colors. The kids had a lot of fun playing with the sparklers. During our vacation time our little Lauren turned 2 years old, and we celebrated her birthday on the lake with Grandpa and Grandma. 
Her birthday this year was an"Elmo" (Sesame Street) theme, Grandma made her an Elmo cake that she just loved. 
The time went by too fast, it is unbelievable that she is already two years old! We had fantastic weather throughout the two weeks, only raining once.
On that rainy day we had a great time bowling with the kids, grandpa, and grandma. The whole group played a pretty good game, thanks to no gutter balls allowed (we had curb blockers up the kids). Our old neighbors from West Valley in Utah (who now live in Indiana), came up for a Loon Lake experience. The kids ar all pretty much the same ages, and had a blast playing in the water together.
We enjoyed roasting Smores by the campfire, and the boys played in the woods shooting things at night with their water guns. One our second to last day in New York and at Loon Lake, little Brendan caught a fish.
This was a perfect end to a great trip at the cabin.
