New York

We spent the last week in Saratoga Springs and saw James's family. It was great to see everyone and the kids has so much fun. I took tons of pictures (over 500) so I tried to pick just some of them for this post.
Friday was opening day of the races. It was a rainy day and Caitlin will tell you the track was "sloppy." But that did not stop us from betting and watching the horses. The kids loved it. Unfortunately since it was so rainy we did not get a lot of pictures.We spent on day down at Grandpa's pool and lake. The kids loved playing in the lake, climbing on the rocks, exploring the area.
What a relaxing spot for all of us. We could sit on the water and watch the kids play. Nonie spent the day with us and the Uncles.

We took a walk down to the lake to take some pictures and see the boats.
Gram gave the kids some special jewelry when we went to her house. Both kids got rosaries for their first communion.
We spent one day on Lake George. We were joined by Aunt Katie, Uncle Josh and Jackson. Grandpa rented a pontoon boat and we had a lunch break at the Nemer's club.

Uncle Jesse was the scariest driver of them all!
Grandpa let the kids take turns driving.

Nonie and all of us went to Hoffman's Playland one day. Thank goodness the Uncles were with us so I did not have to ride any rides. Caitlin is our thrill seaker, she loved the fast and high rides.
The Brothers!

The kids and their Uncles riding the roller coaster.

Braden riding the Monster Truck.
Uncle Jeff was a trooper, I would not do this one! I thought Caitlin would get upset when it got high in the air, nope, she wanted to do it again, Uncle Jeff didn't!
Uncle Jeff riding the ferris wheel, I think he was explaining how it works to them.
The kids riding the "Special Bus!"
