The Play’s the Thing

We started the morning with a stop at the Troy Farmers’ Market.  This market fills several blocks and has a wonderful array of stalls.  We enjoyed a breakfast treat of delicious crepes.

Jeff took us to see Sponge Bob the Musical.  Bennett and Cheryl had seen it before but we had not.  The costumes, especially Squidward, were excellent.  The music was fun and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Saying goodby to Jeff, the rest of us drove north to Saranac Lake.

Sunday we went to the Adirondack Experience where Cheryl works.  The grounds were filled with great activities to celebrate the Fall Fest.  Bennett started out painting his pumpkin.

He helped his mother make a yarn spider and a paper pumpkin.

He met a school friend and they enjoyed pressing cider

and washing clothes (the mothers hoped this skill would carry over to home).

The horses drawing the carriage are retired from an Amish farm.

Anna Lee cheated for a high score on a disk game.

Dave and Bennett did the pumpkin bowl knocking down butternut squash.

They were able to take a few steps on stilts.

We plan more exploration of the beautiful colors all around this area.
