Fun at Findlay Lake

Two weeks ago we joined our son and his family at Findlay Lake which is not more than and hour away from were we live. Our son loves to run and compete in races. This was a five mile race around Findlay lake (which is not far from a famous ski resort Peak and Peak). The weather was perfect and just the kind of day for a race. The most exciting part about it was that our son won the race and coming in first was the first time that this had happened. The trophy he received had a geraffe on it and we had wondered way. Now this is why I am mentioning this. Several years ago there were three famous hunters that traveled all over the world hunting and killing (sounds terrible) wild animals. They had every one of them stuffed and had quite a collection. Since they had so many they approched the town members of Findlay lake and donated all these animals to the town. If you are ever in the area in this part of New York state do not miss the museum that the town built for all these animals. The most amazing one is a 27 foot geraffe which needs to be redone but it is something to see. There also is a crocodile and alligater and so many more stuffed animals that would be impossible for us to see in a life time. The picture I put in is of myself my daughter-in-law and grandson. We really had a great day.
