Boston

We're now in Boston, Massachusetts visiting some friends whom we haven't seen for almost two years. Josh and Minhee are friends from Korea. They have been living in Boston where Josh is a pastor and Minhee is studying. Thanks for everything, guys.

High Peaks Wilderness Area in the Adirondaks

My college friend, Dan, and I went for a three-night hike in the Adirondaks. It was a very enjoyable time despite the rain. We slept in lean-to's every night, making it seem less like hiking and more like a holiday. We made it to the top of one peak, Mount Marcy. My camera battery died on the second day, so these are all the pictures I got.

This is really the only wildlife we saw, except for some chipmunks, frogs and toads.

Niagara

Jono's parents watched the boys for a one night and two days while we went out for the night. We went to Niagara Falls and saw a show. Cirque Niagara put on quite the performance. Of course, they wouldn't let us take any pictures, so this one of the tent will have to do.
When we arrived back at our hotel room after the show, we were able to see some fireworks over the falls. The casino was also very prominent outside our window.
We did a "drive-by" of the Falls this time, rather than get out.
Thanks Mom and Dad, for taking such good care of the boys.

Summer activities

Here are a couple pictures of things that the boys are enjoying doing this summer. Samuel loves the swing that we found. Stephen loves the sandbox in the backyard. He is also willing to push Samuel on the swing for short periods of time because then he gets his turn faster.
