Lake George Winterfest

Weekends in the winter are challenging. The kids are super excited for Daddy to be home, but with Baby4 and cold weather and nap time it can be challenging to find things for us to do as a family.

This weekend was one of four that Lake George hosts their annual Winter Fest. We've been before and not been super impressed with the quantity of activity for kids, but we decided to brave the weather and check it out this year with the main goal of seeing the fireworks at 6pm.

We arrived with only a couple hours, which turned out to be just the right amount of time to hang around. After walking on the frozen lake and and seeing the helicopter land and take off a bunch of times, we headed back to the beach for s'mores by a campfire.

All was great until SlimJim realized the beach had water and despite the frigid temperatures, he wanted to swim.

So we took a walk. And shortly after had to find a cafe off the beaten path that wasn't teeming with people where LittleL.G. could warm her feet which were actually super cold. So feet warmed, snack had, we walked back to the park above the beach and arrived just in time to see the fireworks.

And made it home for our usual bedtime!
