Fab 5 Friday...A Double Dose!

As I promised last week, this week I will bring you a double dose of Fab 5 Friday. It's my last Fab 5 Friday from the States as we head back to KL on Monday...back to reality!

Since I've got to bring you 10 things this week, I'm just going to get right into it!

1. The Sheffers. Two weeks ago we had dinner with Rob and Dar Sheffer at their house...what a relaxing, fun evening. The boys had a blast hitting the pool and hot tub and we enjoyed just getting caught up.



2. The Klutts'. Then, our good friends, The Klutts' arrived. And, we had a week full of fun activities with them...in fact, most of our Fab 5 Double Dose stems from our week of fun! So glad they could come to New York for a week!



3. The Great Escape. We spent a fun-filled day at The Great Escape. I think everyone had fun as the lines were short and the kids could hit most of the rides multiple times!



4. Kayaking. The kids went out kayaking one day with the adults and then we taught them to kayak...and after that, they were pros. It's so fantastic just letting them go out by themselves on the lake. Glen Lake is so calm and quiet that you don't really have to worry about other boats or waves knocking them over.


 

5. Pontoon Boat and Tubing. We rented a pontoon boat and tube on Lake George and it was fun! The kids - even Grayson - had a great time as Blaine did his best to throw them off the tube. We had lunch at Christie's and just enjoyed the amazing weather.



6. Cruise on Lake George. We also took a cruise on Lake George on the Adirondack. I don't think the kids were as thrilled with the two hour cruise as the adults were, but I loved seeing all of the amazing houses and just enjoying the scenery (with an adult beverage in my hand).



7. Log Jam. We had a date night with the Klutts' to the Log Jam. Yeah, we're all salad bar whores - so we love the Log Jam. And the rest of the meal did not suck either! (In fact, Blaine and I had another date night their last night!)



8. Anniversary Dinner. Mom and Dad took all of the kids out for our anniversaries this past week. We enjoyed a great family dinner at The Ridge Terrace. That was probably the last time we'll all be together before we head back to KL...so it was especially nice.



9. Kyle. "Uncle" Kyle came for a quick visit...and while it was short, we were all happy to see him!



10. Yankees Game. We took the boys to their very first Yankees game vs. The Blue Jays...and while it was a loss for our team, it was a fantastic day with the kids and Poppy!



Okay...there it is! A double edition! We've got one more day at the lake and then we're bunking in with my parents for a few days and Monday we are off to Kuala Lumpur. We will be loaded down with baggage and lots of great memories from our time here with family and friends! What a fabulous summer it has been - so fabulous that we're booking ourselves back here next summer! Woohoo!
