And I'm close to family!

Rochester, NY is the home of my brother's family with three adorable kiddos. I drove up to Rochester recently to visit the fam and we checked out a few hikes (so, what's with the bugs?) and Fort Oswego. The hike was really beautiful and it was fun to spend time out in the woods. Although admittedly, I'm grateful for my orienteering training, I got a little worried at the end that the hike was going to be a LOT longer than I was planning when HUZZAH! The parking lot! Here's the two oldest checking out the lake on our hike (Lake Ontario? So, by "Great Lake" you mean, "Lake that is so immensely big it has it's own weather system and could be mistaken for the ocean"?We visited Fort Oswego where I'm fairly certain that my niece Grace has found her calling as either an Annie Oakley impersonator or as a future member of the NRA. Probably both.Further proof of this is that she's apparently already Pavlovian conditioned her older brother Isaac to stick 'em up at any slight provocation. Yup, I just said that I was going to take a picture. This pose was all his own.
