Wells Beach

We went to Wells Beach again last week.

The girls had fun jumping the waves...

Or running from them.

They checked out the tide pools.

In searching for shells, Georgia found one that had a hole in it near its hinge. She made a necklace out of it. I'll need to get a picture of it. She is so proud of it, and it's very special to her.

We had a picnic lunch.

This guy, and his buddies, were interested in what we had.

Olivia had fun chasing the seagulls away.

Chuck E Cheese

On another rainy day...we've had a lot....we went to Chuck E Cheese with the girls' aunt Jessie, cousin Cory, and friend Chad. They had a fun time playing games.

Skee-ball was one of Livy's favorites.

And of course the horse was a favorite, too.

In the horse game, the girls controlled the horse with the reins. The horse moved as he went, so it felt like they were riding a real horse.

Air hockey was another favorite. Olivia was the champ; she's really good at it.

Afterwards we went to the movie Kung Fu Panda. It was hilarious and everyone had a great time.

Around the House in Maine

Where we are staying it is surrounded by woods. We can sit outside and see lots of little creatures come by.

There is a raccoon and a skunk that comes to eat leftovers by the compost pile. I saw the raccoon but missed the skunk.

Olivia found a walking stick.

Rock Painting

Anna and Georgia did some rock painting one rainy afternoon.

Olivia was sick. There was a bug going around...we've all had it so hopefully the rest of the trip will be sickness-free!

Horses

We went to a family reunion last weekend. It was at the farm where my grandmother was born. The kids got a ride on the go-cart.

They had one of those blow up bouncing houses, but the girls were more interested in checking out the horses.
