Summer Vacation 2010

We finally went on our summer vacation a few weeks ago. We had a real nice staycation at Grandmom and Grandpop's house back in July but this was our first real get-away as a family of four. We rented a cottage on a lake in the Poconos and we took our first big trip in the new car. Look at how jam packed it is. Here I am, waiting to get this show on the road!

It's a little hard to see but there is a deer in the shadows. But, that's nothing. I nearly came nose to nose with a deer earlier that day on our morning walk. It was a mamma with her young fawn. I got within about 10 feet of them but decided to leave them alone. Beside, it's no fun for me if they don't run. It's the chase that makes me happy.

Here's a view of the lake from our backyard.

Nate bundled up in his new hat.

Nate is cheering on Daddy. "Catch a fish!" Well, Mommy and Dad fished every day and caught nothing.

I went in the lake to try my paw at fishing but was also unsuccessful.

Dinty Moore for lunch!!!! Nate loves it too. Don't worry. I also got plenty.

Nate's new favorite mode of transportation.

A good shot of Nate right before he fell asleep during this hike.

And he's out!

Our last hike of the trip. Gouldboro State park.

Mommy and I signed the registry book on this hike. It was 10/10/10!
