Weekend in the Finger Lakes

Decided to get away from the cold of NEPA and went to the even colder Finger Lakes in upstate NY.  We hit a bunch of wineries and had a great time.  Nice to get a little R&R !

Great day at Elk Mountain

Our first trip up the mountain was today ... and the conditions were excellent.  Great day with Annie & Emily.   I know I've said it before, but its really awesome living so close to Elk Mountain.

A day on the Ice

 

Kids were able to get their skates laced up today and do some ice skating.  The weather has been crazy up to this point.  Its either -10 or 50 with rain... so the lake freezing has been hit and miss.

Hopefully the kids will get a few weeks to enjoy some skating, and hopefully the dads can do some ice fishing.

Greatest game I ever saw !!

Yesterday my friends and I witnessed the greatest game in the history of Beaver Stadium.  Any high school recruit who was there and doesn't choose Penn State to play their college ball should have their head examined.  107,000 fans were totally insane ...  it really is the greatest show on earth.

Even some diehard Michigan fans sitting around said The Big House is nothing compared to Beaver Stadium.

I found this article writtten by a Michigan student, who summed up the experience.  Absolutely amazing. http://maizeandgoblue.com/2013/10/15/same-game-different-culture-penn-state/

You would never know PSU is school under NCAA sanctions. 

Return to Happy Valley !!

 

Headed to Happy Valley for the Penn State Opener today vs. Eastern Michigan.  It wasn't much of a game as PSU routed them.  However it did leave us the opportunity to sight see around State College.  Here we are the Lion Shrine.  PSU really is the greatest place on earth !!

Rehobeth Beach, DE - 2013

Summer vacation took us away from the Jersey shore and the annoying beach tags this year.  We headed to Rehobeth Beach in DE.   I would highly recommend this is a vacation destination.  Great beaches, and lots of other activities.  Will definitely return.

Summer at Newton Lake

This is what living at Newton Lake is all about.  Yep ... we suffer through some pretty brutal weather during the winter months, but that is all forgotten as soon as we can hit the lake in the summer.  I wouldn't trade living here for anything !!
