February Trip to Chateaugay

For the past few years my parents have been getting hotel rooms for the families so that the kids can go swim and the family can all stay in one place for a night. Although it can be hectic to say the least, the kids have so much fun and we all get to visit. This picture illustrates how many of us there are to coordinate and get fed which is almost nearly impossible. Thanks to Grandma and Papa!!!


As a trek to Upstate NY in February can usually be a treacherous feat...the Bowers Fam welcomed the change as they BARELY had ANY SNOW! What the heck? We managed to build a snow cave in the snow on our back deck the few days before we left. Ok, last snow picture this year, promise...



So we woke up with the Burke clan on Valentine's Day so "Lily" had prepared little packages of cookies and homemade valentine's for everyone. The video below includes Lily giving them to everyone....a few highlights...



Cathy is sicker than a dog so she was hiding and Lily seemed to keep looking for her. ) :

Lily, only a few short hours later, was also sicker than a Cathy. Luckily, her Mommy and Daddy were snuggled away in a hotel in Sarataga enjoying their Valentine's Day while Grandma and Papa took care of her. Thanks again guys! (Suckaaaas!)

William, which you cannot hear in the video, was avoiding Lily's hug. I said William, she just wants to hug you. He said..."Ok, but THAT IS IT!" Ha ha, ok...
