I'm ready for my closeup

Hey! Parker here. I was in Lake Placid too. I say it right. Lake Placid. This picture is actually in Saranac Lake. The people there built a big ice castle out of bricks cut from the lake. Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy and I went to check it out. It was icy.

Many of the Lake Placid activities were outside in the cold and since I was getting over a bad cold that had me on a nebulizer, I stayed in the warmth alot and hung with Grandma.

Mom did take all these closeup photos of me. What do you think?








Oh, and guess what? I am getting my first tooth!!!! Mom will try to take a picture this week.

Hanging out in Lake Clacid

No, that's not a typo. That's how I say it. Lake Clacid. Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Amber and Eric all say, "Lake PLAcid." but I know better. I know everything. I'll be three in a few weeks and that's practically college.
I did learn some new vocabulary this week, though. I learned more about sledding. And I tried to use the sled as a snowboard. See below: 



Aunt Amber and I went down the little hill and then she made me carry the sled back up. No, just kidding. I told her, "I DO IT!" I love snow!

Dad rocks. He took me down this little hill a bunch of times...in preparation for ... tobogganing! Another one of my new vocabulary words for the week. Have you ever been tobogganing? Well, what you do is this: first you get a cool sled. Then you climb a really really big staircase and go down this super icy slide right onto a lake!






It was so much fun! Can you tell how high the slide was from this picture?



On Mirror Lake someone built a bear sculpture and around it there was slippery ice. Of course, I had to test out my new skills and went sliding on the ice, this time sans sleds.

Mom also took me ice skating on the lake, but it was snowing and we didn't bring the camera. I did really like it and learned how to shoot a puck after walking/skating up to a random kid and asking him for his stick. I think I might have to play ice hockey. Mom says first I need to learn how to do a waltz jump and spin like the people on TV this week.

A couple of crazy cousins (well, really, a few)

My cousins came to New York last weekend to visit. I had missed them so much in the few weeks since we saw them! This was as close as we could get to a nice cousin picture.
 
 Parker and I did pose nicely with Grandma Nancy and Nonno.


Luke and Parker was totally digging each other. Lucas makes Parker laugh.
