Over the past week, I have been working on a very important project.
My family has been going on vacation to Lake George every summer for the past 17 years.
The very first year we went, 1995, we went for a ride on the Minnehaha, a paddlewheel steamboat that gives one hours cruises on the lake. Before you board the boat, each group poses for a picture. After the cruise is done, the pictures are available for purchase.
We bought that first picture back in 1995, and that started a tradition that has yet to be broken. Even after the kids no longer had any interest in riding the Minnehaha, we went back JUST to have our picture taken.
Each year I would come home from vacation, frame the picture, and hang it on the wall in our living room. When I painted the living room last week, I took all of the pictures down and noticed how discolored many of them were. We only have that one copy of each picture and it made me sad to see them that way.
My project this week - photo restoration.
Here is a before and after.
I finished all of the pictures!
Here they are in order. Watch them grow! (click on each one to see it larger if you want)

And finally, this is the picture taken this summer. I didn't really want to get it taken because Adam wasn't with us on vacation this year, but Adam insisted that we should not break the tradition!
We may not have had Adam, but Jojo joined our family this year!
