John has a great group of friends from his days at Bates. Dave and Kaja Reynolds are one of those couples that met in college, got married, and have lived happily ever after. They live with their two daughters (Sage, 10 and Emma, 15) in Colorado Springs, CO. They come East most summers and spend time in the Adirondacks. In years past, they've stopped through Vermont, but this year they invited us to join them on one of the Saranac Lakes.
They rent a house amongst a bunch of old classic Adirondack style camps-- rustic, log construction, birch bark interior buildings built in the early 1900's.
Emma and Sage are the kind of girls you can only hope Cally will become. They have an amazing ability to chat with adults, play with a 1 1/2 year old, and get along with each other.
It was so nice to spend some time in the lakes region of the Adirondacks. Mostly, it was a real pleasure to hang out with a lovely family, relax by the lake, canoe, read, and eat good food.
