We rented a cottage at Oquaga Creek State Park for a few days. It is downstate almost to PA. It was really neat. We all agree that this was the best short vacation that we've taken in a while.
This is the view off of our back deck towards our picnic area and fire pit.
She might not blush any more, but she's still my bride. I think I'll keep her.
We had a fire going for most of the afternoons that we were there. A camping must, a fire is.
Big Daddy and Mitchell throwing up a rooster tail in the canoe. 
You can go a lot faster if you do this. It's a delicate technique that you might not want to attempt without proper training.
The three bubbas in the canoe. We didn't realize that you were only allowed to have two people in it. Until they came out in the motorboat and fussed at the boys.
Some bad hombres if ever I saw some. Come to think of it, I may never have seen any.....
The park was next to a town called Masonville. You know we had to take some pics.
The cottage from the front. It is a pretty cool design. That curved buttress that you can see exposed in the front is repeated every 8 feet or so. They support the structure and the second floor is hung from them. I guess you'd have to see it to understand what I am trying to describe. It made for a really roomy cottage, though.
She can't hold me back. Or down. She tries to, but she can't.
All in all, a great trip.

Here are the boys inventing a new game called "Catch the Soccer ball with the fireplace tongs."
