Around Tupper Lake

 

It is a beautiful view as we finish our journey up to Tupper Lake

Then grab ourselves some dinner at the Pub in town 

Then stop off at our local mini-golf course for a round of 18.

And try to sink a putt. 

But I got this, I've got a plan.

Just watch where I put this shot!

Okay, I've loaded up the dynamite, time to blow this wall.

 Firing the charges now!

** BOOM ** 

Now, what do you think about playing with dynamite Mom? 

Should I juggle it?

Time to try my hand at being a log jockey

This game is a bit hard to make work right...

Which probably makes it closer to real life! 

I'm doing my best to avoid the log jam!

This was a great experience, I had myself a lot of fun, how about you two?

It is time to test Mom's outdoor animal and floral knowledge. 

So for example, if we look at the chart, I can then find the item and ask Mom what it is.

Okay Mom, what type of tree is this one? 

Oh I'm sorry you did not hit the exact type, you lose that one (i.e. it's a blue breasted warbler, not a blue colored warbler) 

Okay how about this one, up here in the corner? 

Hum, let me check that one, I think I still need one more qualitative item for that description.

Ah... You got it! 

I think I got an good wingspan, don't you? 

Time to see if I can weave a goon enough basket or not.

Ready to head on an adventure in the 70s-80s Mom?

How about a nice claustrophobic train ride?

Time to test my ability to paddle on the lake. Not sure I'd get us far. 

It appears to be a lot of work, to keep the canon moving in the correct direction.

This is one big chair, just look at it!

Over that way is an outhouse that I would never use. 

Mom and Me hanging out with the lake behind us, and the Sun in front.

 

Does the Vertical look better? :)

Dad told me this was a classic toy that he remember playing around with in his youth.
 

So at least we've got some shade, right Mom?

A big bench, nice trees, a cool breeze, this is the life. 

Now that is a beautiful view! Right Mom? 

So what do you think we do next Dad?

I still don't get this Modern Art. 

I get the idea of making a 3d picture view of a scene

Or even seeing how much I can stuff into a carry backpack. 

Garnet Mining

 

Check out this beautiful spot, up in the mountain valley, where we are going to find some garnet! 

I mean look at some of the big rocks, that look so cool, and the water around us.

I think I found a big one in the his hole here! 

Look at how big this one is, it looks amazing!

Time to get through this collection of stones and dirt and find the good pieces. 

Mom how's your search over there going?

That one looks like a top pocket find! 

I've got a feeling that this hole has some great pieces in it!

We've done it.  We've found some great pieces. This was a blast!
