A Weekend in Maine

 Last weekend, we took our annual trip up to Maine to vist Uncle Joey, Aunt Jenna, Alex & Stacy at their Grandparents cabin.  The kids spent most of the time in the lake swimming, jumping, and tubing.  As usual, we had a great time!

The next-door neighbors have this floating dock in the lake.  The kids spent a lot of time swimming out to it and jumping off of it. This is Sierra, Stacy & Avery jumping together.

One day, we went to Wells State Park to do some hiking.  Unfortunately, the hike we tried to do was EXTREMELY buggy with mosquitoes.  So, instead we walked to the ocean to hang out.  It was really cool because there was a tidal pool that we could walk around in and there were all sorts of snails, hermit crabs and other creatures to hunt for.  The kids loved it!

After the beach, we went to Kennebunkport for dinner.  We walked around town a little and took a horse drawn carriage ride.

Then it was back to the lake!

 We stopped in the middle of the lake and everyone jumped off the boat for a swim.  The kids thought it was so cool swimming out in the middle of the lake!
