Labor Day At Lake Welch, NY and how we lost a bike. (lots of PICS)

Happy Labor Day! :)

We just came back from our little trip. The idea of going away for the day was very quick. One phone call and few hours later we were in the car. The first option was Pocono but its a long drive and we wanted to go somewhere close. We asked around and someone told us about this Beautiful place.
Lake Welch is not far from NYC (1h drive I think, depends on the traffic and how fast you drive). It's located in Ramapo Mountains. It's the largest beach in Harriman State Park in Orange / Rockland Counties Read more here and here.

It was my first time and not the last. There is a quite big camping area with built-in Grills, (of course you can bring your own too) the nice beach, clean sand and clear water :) so much fun especially for kids! My Sophia didn't want to get out of the water! She was soo happy :)

Sophia and her cousins had lots of fun, Skuter and bike riding, playing soccer, jumping and swimming in the water and building sand castles :)

On our way back we did unfortunately LOSE ONE BIKE!!!!! We came with 4 and came back with 3 !
I think to blame was the bike holder that was attached to a trunk, that the bikes were not secured properly and we did drive fast and hit every bump in the road. On Brooklyn bridge people were honking on us and telling that we are dragging the bike behind the car and that they were almost down!

We drove slowly, stopped after we exited the bridge and saw that one bike was missing .... Yes we did probably lose it on the highway .... anyways, it took us 30 min to secure the rest of the bikes and we did drive slowly back home and yeah, the other bikes were lucky, a few more bumps and all of them would've been gone .....
So that was my Labor day! We did have fun and then we cried over the lost bike :)
