Our last August in Maine

Maine in August is a fairy tale.  The weather is perfect, the tourists start to leave, and it is breaking my heart that this is the last time I will witness it.  Just look.

Two lights

My little frog catcher





Maybe it will turn into a prince?

Funny boy thought filling up his shirt up with sand was hilarious... until it went down his pants. :) 

My selfie taking girl.  I have to delete about 100 of them off my phone every day..

Logan's first official race!

We signed Mia up, but she decided that she, "will do it next year"

Up super early in the morning for our Beach 2 Beacon run!

On the bus

So many people...over 6000

We did it!  Even with strep throat.


One of the fun new trails we discovered this summer



Our secret fishing hole... Mia caught the first fish!


One of our tide pool finds.... a baby flounder!

I wish I could claim this sand castle, but we just found it.

I can claim this mermaid, however.

And this hermit crab



Mia the crab.

Yet another Logan runaway.  

My cupcake stealer.  Apparently, she can now reach the top of the counter.

Dancing in the rain


80's night dancing with friends

Bubbas.  That dolly head behind us is not even the most frightening thing there.  But, the light up dance floor is awesome.






our little monkey











We brought a spaghetti dinner to the lake, but were swarmed by bees so had to finish it off in the car.  Thank you, bees, for this adorable family picture.







Our unintentional 7 mile hike with the kiddos.






Sea glass finds

Logan's rock city








The Mia/Evy glitter fiasco of 2016









See?  Magic.

Our 1 year old Evy!




Our sweetest (and naughtiest) Evalyn Rose is one!  



Pinterest tricked me into thinking this would be a good idea. It wasn't.

Happy baby with her sprinkle pancakes!



One of Evy's favorite places...my cupboards.








Evy got into her smash cake way more than her siblings.


She really got into it.





Birthday ice cream and a brain freeze. :)

Happiness is ice cream before nap time.

One year appointment.  Happy, healthy, and still our little moose. :)

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.
