The Canandaigua Lady

When Toni was here we all piled into the tiny Nissan Versa (our lovely rental for the week) and headed to Canandaigua one afternoon. I bet Toni is still sore from being wedged between the carseats. It was a beautiful day...perfect for a trip on the Canandaigua Lady. Since this trip, Jack has been interested in all the finger lakes. He draws them and wants to see them on maps. And the other day he wanted to know which finger lake Aunt Bridget used to live near. And, also, he wanted to know how to spell "Canandaigua."

Getting splashed by the paddles!

I think we were on the boat close to Flag Day so this is only appropriate.

Lily's hair got all beachy near the water.

I did ask her to smile...

The kids started coloring on the trip. If you had told me last year at this time that our two kids would have quietly colored on a boat, I would have laughed. It goes to show, they are getting older! Check out Ms. Lefty. We think she's left handed but she still alternates.

Trying so hard to capture one posed picture. Came out cute anyway!

I miss Lake Canandaigua! Remember my Dad's boat there and seeing concerts nearby? I love these pics - Lily's hair is gorgeous and I swear she looks like she is striking a model pose in the one where you asked her to smile. Looks like a wonderful day!

Jaime, I do remember! I think David and his mom were impressed with my knowledge of Canandaigua. I remembered Scoops...haha. I remember only the important things. There's an awesome Home Goods there now too. When we build our cottage on Canandaigua Lake some day, you can come visit us. We'll probably be close to Danny Wegman too so I'll introduce you!
