Maine Vacation

This year we went to Maine for the last two weeks of August.  The first week was just our family, and the second week, Aunt Maggie and Uncle Matt and Uncle Peter and Alisa came too.  We took A LOT of pictures.  To skip to seeing all of them, click here.  Otherwise, here are some of our favorites.

Claire looking pretty in the sun.


CJ too


And the whole family


Claire and CJ lounging in the Kayak together.


CJ found the lobster buoys. 


CJ played well with Claire most of the time. 


Claire took bath's in the sink!  It was just the right height and depth.


We got to do a little kayaking this year.


Claire joined mommy and daddy at a very nice dinner at Primo in Rockland.  Before dinner, we toured their really neat gardens where most of their produce and animal products come from.



There was lots of boat riding as always.


And stopping to picnic on the rocks.


Claire discovered mommy's make-up.


More hanging out in the sun.



Daddy and CJ caught crabs with their 3rd and 4th cousins.




Walking to the farthest spot of the point, the water was beautiful and clear.


Playing in their little rocking chairs on the new covered porch.



The water was cold, but Claire was still very curious!




Playing a little badminton. 


All dressed up for a rough boat ride to lunch.


Claire seemed to pass out on every boat ride, taking off the life jacket just woke her up...


Daddy found mommy some oysters out on the point...


They were delicious!


In the bath after mommy called the doctor and poison control because he stuck a handful of OxiClean in his eye.  CJ did not like flushing his eye with water, but the bath was better than our first attempt, which involved two people holding him down outside and another spraying his face with the hose.  


Claire was eager to help.

Maine Summer Vacation


On our way to Maine vacation this year, we stopped in Ogunquit for dinner.


At the house, there was lots of riding on the boats,


And hiking.







We saw Camden on a very rainy day.


And went shopping in Freeport.


CJ jumped off the doc a couple times.


And CJ and daddy set off lots of rockets.





CJ made this camera all by himself.


This year, we also got to tour the Andrew Wyeth islands where they had lots of sheep and goats.
