New Paltz for the New Year!

We had an awesome time celebrating the New Year in New Paltz. Once again, Bec and John were our hosts at Rose Lane, where we enjoyed extended amounts of relaxation and good times from Wednesday to Friday. For New Year's Eve, Bec whipped up some delicious fondue and salad and some very tasty chocolate pots (and champagne, of course!). We watched the countdown from the living room as a fire blazed and the Cranium board was out--we didn't play for very long, but had a great time while we did. As you can see from the picture below, Eamon partied until the wee hours in the comfort of his Bjorn. Thanks to an extra-long nap earlier in the evening, he stayed up for quite a bit...but couldn't hang until midnight. His eyes shut for good around 11:55 p.m.

On Friday, Bubba, Mario, Bruno, and the 'rents stopped by for a visit. Great to see them, as always! Here are some pics from our stay--including evidence of our first trip up the climbing wall! So much FUN!
