Maine

We took a trip to Maine last weekend and it is beautiful! We went to Moody Beach Saturday morning. It is a good thing our girls are early risers (they very cheerfully woke us up in the hotel at 5:45) because the beach got really crowded, but when we first got there it wasn't bad at all.

I hadn't ever been in an ocean warm/safe enough to swim in (Oregon was too cold for me last year) and it was super fun! Jessi really enjoyed being in the water with Dad.



Emily mainly enjoyed the wet sand, she filled this bucket over and over again!



Jessica found a very large seashell!



Nate swimming in the waves.



We had to try a "lobster roll" which is a big thing in New England. Basically it is lobster on bread with butter--and it is really good. Even Jessica liked lobster!



Emily really enjoyed her hotdog!



Last of all we saw Cape Neddick Lighthouse.



It was on an island so we couldn't go in or see it up close, but the island was really close and very beautiful! This is more what we pictured Maine like--big rocks down to the ocean...

It looks like you guys have had a great summer! I can't believe how old Emily is getting. Good luck with school starting again.

Hey! I've been there! :) It is a beautiful lighthouse. Fun, fun, fun! Can't wait to see you soon! Joe has night fishing plans for your husband, just to prepare you. :)
