Important Lessons

We have learned some important lessons while living here in Maine...

After unsuccessfully planting corn in our garden 3 times, Ryley learned that he could beat the rodents stealing his kernals by planting the corn in pots on our deck.

We have an ear!

We have learned that Sebago lake is almost empty of people on weekdays after 3.

And that, apparently, Logan can walk on water.  It was always suspected. ;)

We have learned that at the bottom of sebago lake there are lots of freshwater mussels.

And, surprisingly, giant snails.

We have learned that while U-Pick berry farms are awesome, one must always check the price per pound first....

If one fails to do so, one might end up paying $50 dollars for raspberries, thus ruining the month's food budget. 

At least we had fun.  When Evy wasn't screaming.  And, to be fair, I'm pretty sure we ate at least as much as we brought to be weighed. :)

We picked up a few apples too.

Hooray for apple season!  Make way for apple pies, apple cider, apple muffins, apple oatmeal, applesauce....

I caught a blurry smile!

And then her older sister attacked her head with a foam circle.

I learned to never let Mia near Evy while I am distracted with a camera.  Also, behind Mia, you can see that I learned you can make bookshelves out of rain gutters!  Best $6 ever.  Made up for my raspberry oversight. :)
