Summer's End

We bid a fond farewell to the summer in New England by visiting its shores, our family, our friends and the places that we love so much. We even felt cold at times. It was delightful.

Noelle at Scarborough Beach, ME - She was the only brave one to go in the water from our group. It was frigid.
Ian enjoyed the delicious desserts at the Pop Over Cafe in Portsmouth, NH.

We found a cute yarn shop, which I bought red yummy yarn for a sweater for Sydney. Turned out cute. Maybe I'll post it sometime. Noelle couldn't make a normal smiling face to save her life.

We built "temples" with blocks at Great Grammy's house. Noelle was just aching to knock it down, which she did after we took the picture.

Noelle and Boo at the Clam Shack near Two Lights State Park, ME.

Stone Chairs with the whole family.

Noelle on the stone chair. Can't remember the name of this lighthouse, but its now privately owned.
Ferry boat ride through Casco Bay, ME. We stopped at a few of the islands, saw some wild life and then had a delightful seafood lunch afterwards.

Sydney Smiles! Sebago Lake, ME

She was so happy to be outside for ten days straight.

Sydney in her new sun hat, ala $.50!

Family Fun Day/ BBQ.

Boo and some law school friends. We went to Boston for our good friends' wedding and got to see people from the past. They couldn't believe we had two kids. My how time flies.

Boo and Rach at the wedding.
Thanks D for the scarf. It saved my life.

Noelle, Sydney & Lauren. These girls were loving "baby sister" - I'm not sure
she could say the same about them. Also, once again Noelle couldn't just smile, she had to flex her huge muscles instead.
