Hope you were able to scan Brian's notebook easily. I have not had a chance to scan Matt's drawings yet, but will do so when he lets go of it for a little while. We had an outstanding weekend. The hikes were not too difficult for the kids to complete, though they were challenging enough to keep them interested. Sending 6 emails, each with a zip file of pictures. Thanks for a great long weekend- The Ch**** family

What fun! And your photos are really the best quality I've seen. They are beautiful. I want to make a webpage now so please tell me which of the 2 boys is Brian--for the captions. I would be happy to scan Matt's notebook and add to page later. Just mail and I'll return. Yes. Plan a return visit. The 20% discount offer holds and I'll work out some extras, too.

What an awesome time! Brian is the younger boy. He is wearing a green coat in the "sketching photo". He also has longer hair than Matthew. Matthew is tallest and 6, Brian is 5 and Kelsey is 4. They will be so excited to see themselves on your website. Brian's Art teacher told me that he was talking about the vacation in class. Let me know if you need any more info. Colleen Subject: Brian is the younger boy. Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 15:07:53 -0400 (EDT) From: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" To: "Colleen" Colleen-- Thanks for helping with the names--very important. About the dogs-- Which is the smaller brown and white dog? And which is the bigger dark brown dog? Thanks. I'll email with the link later today. Martin P.S. Need Matt's dawings, too. Will add later. How? I'll scan if you mail. Subject: Re: Brian is the younger boy. Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 16:50:10 -0400 From: "Colleen" To: "Martin \(Your Adirondack Guide\)" Martin, Geddy is the black, brown and white beagle. We called our vacation "Geddy's Dream Vacation" because he loves hiking, climbing and being free. He was diagnosed with cancer in March and we wanted him to enjoy some hiking and freedom before the summer's end. He was given 3-6 months to live. Geddy's dream vacation turned into a dream vacation for all of us! Scout is the big black and brown Lab/Shepherd mix. We were laughing because George looked like our family dog in some of those pictures. He was interested in us and Geddy and Scout just wanted to explore the land. We couldn't get them to sit still for pictures. Matthew just agreed to have me mail his book to you. He wanted to be sure we weren't going anywhere exciting until he got it back. I will send it out to you tomorrow or Thursday. Colleen Subject: Re: Brian is the younger boy. Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 17:21:02 -0400 (EDT) From: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" To: "Colleen" Colleen-- OK. Thanks. I'll finish what I have now and then add Matt's drawings when I get them. I'm sorry to hear about Geddy. That's sad. Yes. George is a little crazy about following people on hikes-- there's a story there. He learned all about hiking from my Vermont-massage-therapist GF in '03 (RIP). She ran with him all over the trails here and he got quite adventurous. Until then he was never more than a bark away from Camp Barn. Some guests "borrow" him on their stay if they come without a dog. Martin  Meet Our Guests at the Fourpeaks Photo Guest Book!
