cub scout adventure camp

massawepie

Ambrose off to Massawepie in the Adirondacks for a week of Scout camp.  Three hours of packing (or at least it felt like that) led and mostly done by Ambrose.  It used to be as a parent you did all the packing while they busied themselves . . .now I had to busy myself so that I didn't take over just to get it done.  Growth!

4th of july

Due to the high water, fireworks and the car parade were cancelled in Sodus Point this year (but rescheduled for Labor Day!).  But that didn't stop us from having a terrific 4th of July.  The boys ran in the annual 5K . . .Blaise 24:18, Ambrose 28:43 and Damian 27:06.  Excellent!

The boys spent time collecting sea glass.  And the annual paper lanterns were launched along with a lot of fun with sparklers.  Happy 4th of July!

chase farms

For years we've been picking strawberries at Chase Farms.  We used to pick with Grandma Weidmann and then make jam.  I liked it when she was very precise in measuring (I on the other hand just kinda of fudge it, but she always would say you have to measure precisely for jam or it won't work).  This year we picked strawberries and raspberries and will do some baking and just plain eating.

letchworth

The Grand Canyon of the East, Letchworth State Park.  The Walkers and us went to be awed by the beauty.  The lower falls, middle falls and the upper falls (only from a distance since the trail is under construction).  Hiking, watching birds soar, amazed by a rainbow after a small sprinkle and much more.  Beauty like no other carved out in a previous time taken in with good friends.
