Probably the most fun thing about going to NY, at least for the kids, is the lake! All of Chris' relatives live around this big lake and the kids got to fish, swim, tube, paddleboat and kayak. They had a blast, they were totally exhausted by the end of each day!
All the kids got a chance to tube behind Chris' uncle Gerry's boat! All the boys got flipped off at least once, but Ashten didn't. I think getting flipped off would have ruined her for ever wanting to go on a boat again!!

The kids also enjoyed using the paddleboat and the kayak when the big boat wasn't out. I think Logan's favorite was the kayak, he spent all morning going around the lake one day. I'm sure it was peaceful and quiet, and the scenery is pretty! Actually, not a bad way to spend a morning!
Then there was fishing! Logan's favorite by far. And the lake was so full that even with all 7 kids, plus 3-4 adults, standing on the shore, not being quiet at all, every cast pretty much resulted in a fish. We didn't keep any of them, just threw them back in, but the kids thought it was so cool!! Well, all the kids except Ashten maybe (that's my girl!!)
And when all else failed and the little boats had lost their appeal and Uncle Gerry wasn't home to fish or boat with, the kids entertained themselves for hours just splashing and swimming and playing in the lake. They invented all kinds of games to play in the water. There were tons of floaties and rafts to play with too!
I'd say it was a successful, fun family vacation!
