Other July Happenings

Other things that have happened this crazy month:

My birthday! I was completely and utterly spoiled. It started with a run around beautiful back cove, had a large beach going/boogie boarding portion in the middle with all of my favorite foods, and ended with sea kayaking with the man of my dreams. Pretty awesome day.

Before Leon and Kathy's flight back home, they treated us all to Mike's pastry and the New England Aquarium. It was so much fun to spend time with them, and the kids made so many wonderful memories!

Mia, sea kayaking with her best friend forever, Ellie.

Poor girl. Stuffed into the luggage portion of the kayak with a too big life jacket. She had the time of her life, even if she didn't go more than 50 feet from shore. :)

Logan sea kayaking... also stuffed into the luggage portion with a too big lifejacket.

Tide pool find... squid eggs!

Starfish!

Seawall beach

Making a fort

My sand eating baby.

best kids ever.

Acadia/Lubec/Campobello Island

For our marathon vacation this summer, we headed up north to Acadia with Leon and Kathy, then hopped up to Lubec to see the iconic West Quoddy Head Light, and then drove over the bridge to Canada. We all got another stamp in our passports, and learned more about the Franklin D. Roosevelt family then I will ever need to know.

Acadia was beautiful, as always, and Kathy and Leon rented the cutest little house for us to stay in. Logan and I got to enjoy it more than everyone else since he ended up with the stomach flu. Luckily it was just a 24 hour thing! Then Mia had some random massive finger infection/swollen lymph node fiasco. And Evy got another tooth! But really, what is vacation without puke, an ED visit, and sleepless nights? :) All kidding aside, it really was a wonderful two weeks, we got to see a lot of beautiful country, and I checked off lots of bucket list items!
