Maine Highlights

We had a fantastic time in Maine. We were able to see ALL of Morgan's family. That's quite the accomplishment since two of his siblings live in Utah with their families. The weather was divine (except for a few 90 degree days with minimal AC). The rest of the days consisted of 75-80 degree temps in the day and the 60's at night. Heaven.

Andrew loved having so many boys to play with. And that's a good thing, since 5 of the 6 grandkids are boys. Andrew also loved having full rein of the outdoors. It was the first this he wanted to do in the morning (5:30 in the morning was a little early for playing outside!) Did I mention he woke at 5:30? Yeah, that's what time the Sun would be up, and he'd be up with it.

Morgan and I enjoyed several dates, mostly centering around Pat's Pizza, and other favorite restaurants in town. Anyways, here's some photo highlights of our trip... warning you... there are a lot of pictures!!

 Andrew being introduced to the trampoline by Papa, I'm pretty sure we had only been at the house for under 30 minutes.

Frequent walks along the Penobscot River. (Morgan's house is just a street away from this river and the Stillwater River in Orono)

 Anticipating the Choo-Choo Train that backs up to Morgan's back yard.

 Trips to a few of Maine's BEAUTIFUL clear spring fed lakes. (puts Georgia lakes to shame!)

 Enjoying the rocky shore.

 How many Stinson Boys can you fit into a hot tub?

 Heading to the Park with Cousins.

 Watching Camden, Jack, (and Leslie's) mad trampoline skills.

Andrew enjoying jumping on the trampoline in the rain.

 Morgan spending HOURS on the trampoline. The boys loved it.

 Marinn showing off her dress up clothes...

 More hot tubbing for all.

 Splashing Splashing Splashing

 Andrew LOVED this boat!

 ANDREW GOING OFF THE DIVING BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME! He LOVED it!

Jealous.

Of those lashes! It's simply not fair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4th of July and Peachtrees.

The 4th this year was exciting for us. Morgan ran his first Peachtree Roadrace. If you're from Atlanta - it's kinda a 'must do.' It's the biggest 10K in the world, with over 60,000 runners this year. The Saturday before we headed to a cute little parade in a town close to us. It was a lot of fun. I think Andrew's favorite part were the horses, I loved seeing all the tractors.

 

Family Pic, of course - Andrew's not thrilled.

 

Tractors! How perfect.

 

Andrew's reaction to the horses. He kept on neighing like them.

 

Andrew was so happy to have not one, but two lollipops!
