Wow, what an awesome summer so far! I hope everyone else has enjoyed the weather and free time. I recently got back from a 3-day backpacking trip with Mr. Giroux. We were in an area of the Adirondacks up near Long and Tupper Lakes. We hiked about 25 miles along the Cold River/Seward Mountain area. Here are a couple pictures:Here is Mr. Giroux packing things up on the second morning. We pitched the tent in the middle of the river on a huge boulder.There was a great swimming hole where we camped. Here Mr. Giroux takes a dive off the rock.Mr. DeVoe checks out the "hot tub".This was taken at our camping spot on the second night. Throughout the Adirondacks there are little structures called Lean-tos that people can sleep in. Most come with a little picnic table like this one. Im still waiting on pictures from the bike trip, so check back. Bye for now.

Hey,
Sounds fun. I wish I could do that but it probably won't happen. I am having fun this summer. I just got back from the Pocono races and I had so much fun. I got so many new things there.

Katie,

That's great...assuming you meant recycling instead of garbage = ) You'd be proud of me as well. Today I passed on the Salvation Army and went for some designer clothes at JC Penny's. Glad you're enjoying your summer.

Chad DeVoe said...

Wow Marky, you've been busy. I went to the Smokey Mountains in N. Carolina 2 summers ago. It was amazing. Thats great you donated your hair...it's for a good cause.

Marissa,

I'm sorry to hear that you're moving. Good luck!

Chad DeVoe said...

Crissy,

I'm looking forward to school too.

Crystal,

Yup, chances are that titmouse was banded by Cornell. It might even be one of the ones banded at our feeder.
