Father-Son Weekend...

Father-Son Weekend takes place every June and it is aptly named the "Black-Fly Festival". If you know upstate New York, particularly the Adirondack Region, you know what a black fly is, I need not say more.

This year from our family it was DB, BB and Cuzin' Higgly who went. BW had to work so he stayed home. His employer already generously gave him two weekends in a row off for Memorial Day and then Senior Prom. According to him, life is getting more complicated for him now that he's nearly graduated (10 more days), but who's counting?! Little does he know...I won't spoil it for him,LOL!

There were plenty other Father-Son groups too, but I couldn't count how many. Besides, many of the finer details are kept a secret bond among the "men". So us Moms/Wives only get sparse details.

The weather was beautiful I'm told, the food was exceptional as always (they do brag), and the companionship--unmatched. Who could ask for more!

Here's a few shots from this special weekend...

Beware the first one is scary!


A Water Snake found while canoeing.
That's one moment I'm not sorry I missed!


New Initiates, no one was hurt I was assured.
