My Little Monkey: Lake Placid weekend

We had quite the busy, yet fun, weekend. The Tri-Lakes Relay for Life was on Saturday in Lake Placid, so we decided to go and make a weekend out of it. We got down to Lake Placid around 10:30 on Saturday morning and spent the majority of the day at the oval for the Relay. This is a much smaller Relay than the Plattsburgh one so there was not as much going on, but in my opinion this was a much more personal Relay and just as fun. Jack really enjoyed walking around and chasing older kids on their bikes or rollerblades. There were also a crazy amount of apples everywhere for some reason and Jack was stealing them left and right. I think he "ate" about 7 apples throughout the course of the day. Needless to say, his newest word is apple (he says it more like "ba-ple"....so cute!)

Jack has been coming out with more and more words each day that Mark and I have realized that we are now at the stage where we have to watch what we say because he is repeating so much. His newest words are apple, uh oh, baby and he tries to say Elmo. Each day he adds a new word to his vocabulary. It's pretty exciting because he is now attempting to say two syllable words instead of just one syllable. Now if only he could tell the difference between Mark and I we would be all set. (he still sometimes will call me da-da instead of ma-ma...what a kid)

Anyway, on Sunday someone woke up WAAAAAAAY too early and woke everyone in the hotel room up. (We stayed with Joan and Cliff overnight in Lake Placid) So we all went to breakfast at a local Diner and then Grammy and Grams offered to take Jack home so Mark and I could walk around Lake Placid. We decided to take them up on that offer. Jack was almost half asleep after breakfast and the weather was a little gloomy, so it worked out well. He had a nice day with Grammy and Gramps, took a 3 hour nap at their house and it gave Mark and I a chance to do a little shopping, get home and take a nap! Our shopping experience was more of a browsing experience because I haven't been paid yet, but it was still nice to spend some time together.

It was yet again another great weekend filled with some interesting moments. Below are a few pictures of our day in Lake Placid (in no specific order) and a couple of the Relay....enjoy!
