Sooooooo
all that inbetween stuff, its either not happening, or we'll get around to posting it sometime later.
for now, here's some pics and videos of our recent trip up to Lake George and North Creek NY.
We stayed in a $50 motel (2 double beds and a fridge, not bad.
The road trip was suprizingly really great (kids slept and played and were very content for 90% of it, unheard of around here) thanks to lots of treats, ipod video movies and well timed naps.
next day we woke up late, played around, packed up, strolled through the main street of the town and then went to local kids amusement park called "the magic forest" (note you have to say "the magic forest" like homer simpson would say it.)

Anyway, you'll get the idea
drive up to motel (through contsruction) 6 hours
sleep in motel (grace decided her naps in the car were better than some crummy old porticrib (see pic below)

drive back to motel, play on playground, get in pool, goof around.
every night we were here, grace would (eventually) fall asleep in her porticrib (which we had to put in the bathroom because it was to bright and noisy in the main room). Then Kendall, Michelle & Kevin would snuggle in one of the beds and watch Wall-E on our laptop and with 1 spoon eat A&W rootbeer/vanilla swirl Ice Cream out of the carton.
On sunday we went to church, relaxed, and hung out by lake george (http://www.visitlakegeorge.com/) before having a home cooked barbecue dinner
the picture of kendall is right after he face planted off the slide into the playground dirt.
next day we woke up late, played around, packed up, strolled through the main street of the town and then went to local kids amusement park called "the magic forest" (note you have to say "the magic forest" like homer simpson would say it.)
it was pretty ghett-I MEAN fun actually. It did reminded Michelle & I of all those 80's horror films with the amusement park figurines the come to life and hack everyone to death (see movie below)
(yea, it was JUNE when we were there. Festive 12 months out of the year)
Then...we came upon something that was REALLY COOL!
We played on this slide for 45 minutes plus. It was 3 stories of serious fun.
Then we drove home (only 4 hours driving as everyone apparently drove home early in the day, so our 8:00 arrival time through the manhattan area was wide open roads)
And it was back to school and work on Tuesday. (cute movie of grace the next day)
