camp

Well, it was another crappy week at camp, although it was better than the last vacation in June. It only rained every other day. We celebrated Luke's birthday, Gabe and I made a Mayan temple Cake. It was AWESOME! There were teddy graham worshipers and of course the Mayan King atop of the temple. We even had the sacrificial offering, if you look close you can see the poor fella tumbling down the stair case.

There was a lot of cribbage playing at camp and couple of scrabble games. The kids played and watched movies now and then. There was way too much food, but it was sooooo good. Dinners included spare ribs, pulled pork, grilled chicken, spaghetti, chilli and lots of leftovers. The boys worked on the dock and I am so happy to report that it is in! That was a job and a half. There were no injuries to report, except the noseeum fly feast that was had every night while we played cribbage.

All in all it was a great week and fun was had by all.

4th of July

We spent the 4th at camp on Ambejejus lake in Millinocket, or TR something. Since the weather was well more than crappy the lake was very quiet, not much boating happening. We did have a few dry days, but it was too buggy to really enjoy the outdoors. We had a lobster feed with steak, corn and all the fixins! We tried to race the lobsters on the deck, but they weren't going very fast. Alyssa was more than dissapointed. Even though the weather was bad, we all had a good time being at camp. Alyssa did some fireworks on the deck and as usuall we saw some fireworks on the lake! We plan on heading up again this summer, hopefully the weather will cooperate.

A day in Bar Harbor

We spent a drizzly grey day in Bar Harbor. We went up Cadalac Mountain and even though we couldn't see very much, Alyssa and Jack had a lot of fun. Alyssa learned that it used to be a volcano "colcano" as she says. She loved exploring on the rocks. After the trip up the mountain we spent some time at the beach in Seal Harbor, one of my favorite spots. The sun eventually came out for a little while. On the way home the kids slept and we stopped in Ellsworth at Pat's Pizza for speghetti and pizza.

Lauren's graduation!

Lauren graduated on June 9th from John Bapst Memorial High School with high honors! Congrates to you! We are so proud of our oldest and first born!

She plans to live off campus at Mimi Betsy's. She is currently working two jobs, at Dairy Queen she is shift leader and is hostess at the Texas Roadhouse.
