*Father's Day in Maine

We spent last weekend in Maine exploring Acadia National Park.  It was extremely beautiful and picturesque and just what you might imagine Maine to be like.  I loved the little towns with the old buildings and sweet storefronts, the harbors filled with fishing boats, the lobster pots stacked up outside people's homes, the lush greenery...

We stayed in a sweet little cottage/motel. Here is Vera decorating our screen door:

So fun to read through this one while we were there - such a beautiful book!

Edie is in HEAVEN digging in the sand and making her sand cakes and castles. 

I miss our sandbox so much.

she was so proud of this one and fell completely apart when she saw Ben dump it out before we left.

a good daddy :)

this little part of the island made me feel like I was in Avonlea :)

wild blueberry pie!

The lobster pound (what does that mean?) where we had dinner on Father's Day. Ben's parents realized this is the same place they went years and years ago when Ben was 3 and Jessie 5! How neat is that.

She posed with the lobster, but neither would even entertain taking a bite.
