50 Years at Green Point


We had a wonderful week at Moose Lodge on Raquette Lake with Gram and BB- and learned that this is the 50th summer for the Bennett family on Green Point. Mommy and Daddy made a sign (camp-style) for the Fourth of July picnic at Gram and BB's leantoo (with all of our neighbors) to celebrate- here's BB and his brother, Uncle Steve:

Paul really enjoyed all of the fresh air and playing outside. The first boat ride across the lake on Sunday was not a hit, so we made sure to take him out a few other times in the boat... by the end of the week he knew where the key went, how to move the throtle and to steer.... oh my...
He also discovered the John Deere Gator... and anytime he went outside would run towards the barn saying "rihde, rihde, rihde"... we gave in a few times but also had to practice not getting what you want all the time (do I need to say that didn't go well all the time?).

Paul also helped Gram to make some very yummy breakfasts- here they are making blueberry muffins.

Dear Redferns,
What a wonderful, delightful, fun-filled visit! So many first time memories for Paul III, or should I say Captain Paul Wayne, the official boat driver.
See you in August! Love, Gram Moose

It looks like everyone had a great time. I'm sure Paul is a great boat and tractor driver. Does he swim in the lake? And yum to the muffins!

the lake was not a huge hit, but also not a big miss- Paul splased a bit but wasn't terribly interested in mommy taking him deeper than he could stand... hopefully our trip in August will have some more swimming time.

The mud (aka wet sand) however, was much more exciting!
