Mohonk vs our Camera

As Uncle Pete would blog, "Mohonk vs our camera!"
This week brought a trip up the Hudson valley to New Paltz,
home of Mohonk family resort. This place was bangin'!
DHV loved exploring the grounds and getting underfoot all the old fogies who were perpetually wandering about, looking for their Aricept.
Here DHV built his climbing muscles on the main stairway.
Grandparent Lindy presided over family dinner. You can't beat buffet gourmet food; HusbandKV tried, and met defeat at the hands of the chocolate bundt cake and something called a chocolate "bombe".
DHV was so happy he even cuddled a bit.
He didn't realize HusbandKV would dress him up like the flying nun!
Hikes are boring when you have to stare at a fat head the whole time!
DHV worked the camera, on location.And sucked down some soy formula.Frogs and snakes inhabited this bucolic pond.That's DHV with his parental unit in front of the Mohonk House. Immediately after this photo the camera took a header off its perch, sustaining career-threatening injuries. Powershot SD750 is on the DL for at least 2 weeks. Who knows what we'll post about until its return.

Sounds like Mohonk 1, Powershot 0. Still, a quality vacation situation. Were you vacationing, perhance, with celebrities, or were you seated in an Amtrak/Love Boat kind of way?

P.S. DHV: cool flying nun look. WifeHV: cool Crocodile Dundee look. HusbandKV: what up with the crocs? That is so Ben Affleck!

No entiendo Amtrak/Love Boat.
But no celebrities (that we were allowed to see, anyhoo).

was there no boating on the lake?

Also, looks like a great place for a Bug-Off hat.

Actually, in unpacking our suitcases I discovered a certain Bug-Off hat hidden away in a side pocket. We will try to return it shortly.

We did no boating although Dana and Kaiya enjoyed a paddleboat excursion. Taking the very mobile/restless/inquisitive DHV on a boat sounds like trouble to me.
