Ontario County Fun on the Farm

Indian Lake 2017

Every summer Andy and I camp a long weekend up at Indian Lake in the Adirondacks. Our parents graciously split childcare duties, so we can have a kid free adventure. You have to boat out to all the sites on the lake so we use our canoe with a little outboard motor strapped to it! We’ve gotten island camp sites before, which were really neat, but this year we picked a remote site at one end of the lake. Our friend Kevin and his girlfriend Mandy met us there as well. We had a few nice days and a few rainy days (you can’t win ’em all). We always look forward to our yearly getaway!

Blue Toad

For Andy’s birthday this year (back in January!) I got a groupon for cider tasting and two growlers at Blue Toad Hard Cider. We met friends there before we left for Hawaii and had a fun time hanging out. It’s so hard to get out and do date nights but I’m always really glad when we do!

Home Depot Kiddie Project

Every once in a while we get ourselves to the Home Depot project for kids. This one happened to be the weekend before Easter and the kids made little Easter baskets. If we’re being honest, Andy and I did all the hammering and the kids just painted their project :)

Night on the Town

My dad and Leslie took us out to one of their favorite restaurants. It definitely got points for atmosphere, I kept waiting for a mermaid to pop out of the water! I had the coconut shrimp, it was delicious!

Luau!

My dad and Leslie treated us to a Luau while we were on Oahu! We spotted a huge rainbow on our drive there.

My dad already owned this Hawaiian shirt. Leslie volunteers at the base thrift shop and came across the dress for Cassidy in the exact same pattern. They were the cutest together :)

We enjoyed the musicians as we headed into the Luau.

They had a bunch of fun activities for families to do. This one was a flower bracelet making station.

The kids got to pick “tattoos” too :)

My dad helped Ben figure out the braid for his palm leaf crown.

Andy couldn’t be convinced to dress Hawaiian festive for the occasion ;-)

The kids even got to dance!

This was our MC “cousin Jerry”

He taught us about the life giving palm tree and how it influenced their culture. Then he showed us how one is traditionally climbed.

Then it was time for dinner!

Andy was first to try the seaweed, mmm.

Leslie warned us that the kids might not like what was served, so here’s Cassidy eating the PBJ we packed for her! Both kids ate the pineapple, but Ben actually tried everything on his plate, I was so proud of him.
