TOdayius the big day for Pat and Lexy.. it started with a walk run around echo lake..   We chose to to walk because the whole way was cement sidewalks.. not really a great natural run.. but Super nice meeting up with lexy and patricks freidns and family

After the walk we all went over to martha’s airbnb for a nice breakfast.. 

Tonight was the wedding (short and sweet)..a nd the wedding party. It was a beutiful settign right on the lake. We had a great time talkign to everybody,.. .. the band was great and evrybody danced. Mid way through we put soem lights on lexy and patrick for a bit which was fun.. I think it may have surprised patrick too much..

Lexy and Patrick are a really nice match. Its clear they love each other very much.. We’re happy to be here for this !!!

We had most of the day to ourselves so we headed to Saranac Laketo do soem conaing. Saranac lake is much more ‘real’ than lake placid.. we enjoyed checkign it out. We rinted a nice light weight 2 person canoe and headed out into meadow lake for a nice 3 hour paddle and picnic. 

On the way back we stopped to see our freind Shannons summer house, met her neighbor and checked out Shannon’s favorite ice cream place !

THis evenign was the welome reception for the wedding. We got to meet lots of Lefy and Pattrics family and freinds. Lexy’s Unclude is our old freind.. and my former boss, Gary. It was great reconnecting with Gary and his family !

We also got to see Martha’s family whom we’ve met before. 

Vary nice group of people !

We came over to Lake Placid last night so we could join Lexy and Patrick on a pre wedding weekend hike up Algonquin moutnain. We were a small group as we started up through the fog and smokey haze. It was a nice hike.. nice to get to know the other hikers. no views because of the smoke.. at the top we opted to take the Wright Mountain peak instead of Algonquin.   Somr interestign views of recent landslides. 

AFter the hike we went and checked out lake placid.. a nice settign around Echo lake.. Very  touristy though.  every spot on the lake had big hoses or commercial spaces.. very little public access.   they did hve  a cool tobagan run. 

Tomorrow the real wedding stuff starts..
