NYC visit with friends

Our friends took a 6 hour detour last week on their way to NYC to visit us for a few days.  It was awesome to get to visit with them and watch their daughter and Gabriella play together.  We also had fun seeing New York City with them.  It was wonderful to be along with people who had spent some time there all ready.  Brie loved riding the train.  We enjoyed the Museum of Natural History even though we only made it through one floor.  There is so much to see.  Then we ate lunch with our friend's uncle and walked around Times Square.  You can see a few pictures from the trip using the link below.

Quick Catch Up

We've been busy playing and getting ready for spring around here.  Then on the first day of spring the weather decided it wanted to be winter for a bit longer around here and snowed.  Here at our house it snowed just a couple inches but up in Tug Hill it snowed 31 inches!  Geez!  And the ice was thawing in the harbor now it's just sticking around.  But we are seeing ducks and geese starting to come back so spring is on it's way even though it does feel like winter again.

We went on a Maple Syrup excursion last weekend which was pretty fun and informative.  The weekend before that we went to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake which was awesome.  So much information and so many great displays.  Especially the otters swimming around.  Brie is still talking about them.  Here's a quick clip of them swimming around.

a winter day at Southwick Beach State Park

We enjoyed a lovely day walking through the woods and then popped out at the beach for a nice beach walk.
