Cold and Rainy, time for some comments


The above photo is from The Wild Center yesterday. Sheldon was watching the otters swim, and he was really enjoying it. He said that he want to swim like an otter next time he goes in the swimming pool (if it ever warms up).
Well, today is starting off and promises to be another cold and rainy day. Hopefully we'll go to the Oympic Museum in Lake Placid. Time for some comments about this campsite. We are staying at the KOA Whiteface Mountain/Lake Placid. This place is huge and very nice. We have stayed at quite a few campgrounds in our travels and several KOAs. This one is one of the nicest and it is quite huge! The area is beautiful and the whole campsite is shaded by towering pine trees. The sites are level and the hookups are great. Even the Wi-fi is strong. Most campsites you can barely get a signal if you are too far from the main office building, but here we are really good to go.

So far the Adirondacks are everything I thought they'd be. I wish it was sunny and warm, but that is out of anyone's control. I'm sure Brianna wishes she brought more long pants. Now she is going to have to wear (heaven forfend) slightly dirty pants! Oh my goodness, what will she do with a smudge of dirt on her pants while we are camping... Even Sheldon is not to thrilled to have to wear the same pants a third time. I remember wearing the same outfit for like four days in a row when I would spend summers up at the cabin (aka Camp Casey). I guess I was just a gross, dirty little child.

Anyway, it's after 8 am, and of course I've been up since like 5:30 and everyone else is still asleep. It's peaceful though, maybe that's why I get up so early. Or it could just be that my sweet labs can't wait to go for their morning walk! Shadow is being really good. The last time we camped with her she barked an awful lot (last year) and the year before she was just a nightmare, chewing up half the trailer when we weren't watching her. As a matter of fact we had to buy a muzzle for her back then because she was destoying everything in site. She really has calmed down, and I think she is better-behaved than Brownie now. Brownie is usually the one who starts the barking by making a little growl or half and bark at some passer-by; then Shadow starts in, and she is LOUD. But we can't really complain. We leave during the day, and shut the trailer up, put the radio on, and I'm pretty certain that the dogs just sleep.

Well, that's enough rambling for now. I will post more tonight after we've actually done something...
