Stano's Dirty 30 Birthday Party

Last weekend was Stano's 30th birthday party. Michelle organized an amazing day full of hockey for the boys, lunch at THE PUB (a local "dive" near our house), a BBQ dinner at their house, a Twister competition (which Teresa won!), never ending shots for everyone, and tons of dancing.

Other highlights include: the caramel pecan cheesecake (best cheesecake I've ever had), the NO t-shirt party (which almost every guy participated in), and the Leaf's winning in overtime.

The entire day was action packed and I know a number of people spent ALL of Sunday recovering from the festivities.

Thanks for organizing such a great day. I hope Chris appreciates all the hard work you put into everything.

Trip to Lake Placid

Our trip to Lake Placid was awesome. Although it was only four days, two of which we spent skiing/snowboarding, that was enough time to hit all the slopes, check out the Olympic sights, and get to know the town. Josh and I commented at how nice it would be to also visit during the summer months because the mountains and waterfalls would be gorgeous. Hikers and mountain bikers would have plenty to do!

During our visit we went to Whiteface Mountain Resort (home of the 1932 and 1980 winter Olympics), we went outdoor skating on the Olympic speed skating rink, and had a few amazing meals at local restaurants. The best meal, which we had at Pete's Steakhouse (for anyone looking to find a fabulous high-end restaurant), was to die for. We highly recommend this place.

Another highlight for Josh was duty free. He was pretty excited to buy a 40-oz of Crown Royal for US$18. Haha.

Thanks for the great trip Josh. I had a fun time. :)
