Happy Adirondack Mother's Day! Here are just a sampling of the many wildflowers coming into born just for Mother's Day!

After a morning of fishing or enjoying many of the Adirondack waterways, take a stop at John Brown Farm State Historic Site for John Brown Day. The John Brown Farm State Historic Site is hosting the annual John Brown Live! Day celebrating the abolitionists John Brown and Frederick Douglass.

Sometimes we choose the indoor activities in Lake Placid over the outdoor, active type. Tonight we will be armchair paddlers, watching the word's best paddling films at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.

This Adirondack Earth Day there are many things to celebrate and many ways to show our appreciation for Mother Earth and the six-million acre Adirondack Park. 

There is really nothing like a canoe trip to really bring out the strengths and weaknesses in a family. It requires balance; strength and teamwork. We find we are in short supply of a little bit of each.
