#239

I have enjoyed living in Canada, Taiwan, and England, but America will always be my home!

We headed down to Lake Placid, New York to join the festivities for America's 239th birthday.  Right as we arrived it POURED down rain again!  We drove around Mirror Lake a few times and then it cleared up.  It was still a little too chilly for us to take a dip in the lake, so the kids played at the playground instead.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

It started raining again, so we took shelter at our favorite Pizzeria- Bazzi's.  We had a table right at the window so when the rain stopped again and the parade started we could watch it while we ate.  After dinner we walked up their charming Main Street.  Of course, we had to visit their Christmas store and buy some yummy fudge for dessert!  We so badly wanted to watch the fireworks over the water that night, but they weren't going to start until 9:30.  With a 3 1/2 hour drive home and church the next morning we didn't think it was the best idea.  Next year we've got to plan to stay the night in town!

Happy birthday America!
