Chris, Jim and Rory went camping last night. They set off in the afternoon to go up to Lake George. There is a group of islands that are state owned, and you can camp on them! Most require a 3 night minimum stay, but if you go the day you want to stay, sometimes you can get a campsite just for the night. So they did just that. The islands are accessable by boat only, obviously. This required them to rent a canoe! When they got to the canoe rental place, they told the lady they wished to rent a canoe, to which she replied, "Sure, for when?". They told her they wanted it immediately to canoe to the islands, which is about a 3 mile canoe trip. She told them they were crazy and asked if they had seen the weather forecast (thunderstorms and rain). They told her they would be fine and after persuading Rory to get in the canoe (the bag of Fritos helped I'm sure!) they set off for the island.
First they had to find the main island to check in. There were only about 5 other groups of campers so they got their pick of islands. Here it is! They had the whole island to themselves!
Amy was so nice and bought the boys tons of junk food for the trip. This included a bottle of grape soda, which Jim and Chris challenged Rory to consume. 
They went fishing and caught 3 fish but decided to stick to eating their hot dogs for dinner! 
When they went to return the canoe today, the lady confessed to them that she was so worried that she sent her son to follow them in his boat to make sure they got to the island before the storm hit. Her son reported back that they had just made it to the island when he started to see 4 foot swells. They had lots of fun despite the weather! I don't think Rory will forget his first camping trip!
So I just showed Joe all your posts since he was gone and he LOVES Chris' mohawk!! He exact words were a very excited exclamation that should not be said in front of small children, but he was excited! LOL! See you soon!!!
