Kate & Allie

Last weekend... Columbus Day weekend... we went upstate to Catskill, NY with Rich's family. Rich and his family have been going to "the cabins" every year since as long as they can remember. Rich's parents actually spent their honeymoon there (gives you an idea of how long). I have been going with them since Rich and I started dating. It was a really nice and warm weekend. Last year it had rained a lot, so it was nice to have the warm weather this year. I have included tons of pics in this post... I couldn't help myself. The picture above is one of my recent favorites of the girls.
This picture below is of Katie and Aunt Nancy (Rich's sister) I just think it is a really nice picture of the two of them, we were having breakfast right before leaving... because as usual the pics are not in the right order.

Jennifer and Allison waiting for the frog show. On Sunday we went to the Apple Festival in Cairo. The festival is small, and really nice.

This year we brought all the bicycles. The girls didn't ride them as much as I thought... only a little bit. I wasn't really thinking, because there are lots of hills and I think there were too much for them.

Happy Birthday to Jennifers boyfriend Rob!!! we wish you many many more!! We have know Rob for many years as Richie and Robbie's best friend... but a few months ago sparks flew between him and Jennifer. They are so happy together... as we are so happy for them.

Samantha seemed to really enjoy the girlies... and in return they adored her. She is 6 months old now and really showing her personality. It was really nice to spend so much time with her!

When we were at the Apple Festival in Cairo, they has a few carnival rides... including this slide. I think Katie and Allison went down about 4 times!! They love it.

How does that apple taste Allie???

Heading to Hunter! You can see here how wonderful my neices and nephew and their significant others... look how attentive they are to the girlies!!! They are just the best and so good with their young cousins. :)

At Hunter they has the ski lift going. The girls and I took a ride up the to the top and then back down. It was soooo beautiful. The leaves were changing and the weather was right.

Going up Allison!!

Here is Katie as were heading up!

on the way back down! Amazing... the pictures do not do it justice.

My nephew's girlfriend Jessica treated the girls to a ride on a motorcyle.
