Day 2

We traveled to a house on the Salmon River near Redfield, NY, which is about an hour north and east of Syracuse. My brother-in-law is friends with the owner of the house and we packed hot dogs and coneys and hamburgers and headed out of town this morning. It was raining lightly as we left, but stopped somewhere along the way. Cooler today, in the mid-60's, until the sun came out and made everything more beautiful.
We had 5 adults and 3 kids between 6 and 9. Grandpa Jon had bought them bikes and tossed them in the back of his truck. We stayed busy biking, walking, hunting snakes and crawfish, playing games and generally having a good time. Just after we got to the place a Redbone Hound puppy joined us and would not go home. So he hung out with us during the day and we took him to his place on our way out and dropped him off.  He is a beautiful hound dog!
All in all a very good day that tired us out and we are just relaxing tonight.  Here's a few shots from the day, starting with a day lily that just shouted "Take my picture!"
