The Kreiling-Little Annual Camping Trip – Lake Placid

While not our first stop, the Lake Placid visit was definitely memorable!  Our first view of the Olympic events was of the ski jumps – wow, are they ever TALL!

Later in the visit, we actually went up to the top of the ski jump and looked around.   It was a great view of the Lake Placid area, the surrounding mountains and the other Olympic venues.   We also saw the kids practicing their ski aerial jumps – skiing down a wet surface, doing their acrobatic jump into a swimming pool.  Way cool!

The highlight of the visit to the Olympic venue was the BOBSLED ride!   We all rode it – IT WAS AWESOME!
