Our Maine House

Right on the water at the sound end of Southport Island.
DINNER! Almost EVERY night! Because when you get them from the restaurant 2min away and they're only $5, why not!? Delicious!

mmmmm



Uncle Clint and Macie make funny faces!
Relaxing and grilling!




The Maine Aquarium


Macie is REALLY excited! Look at that CLAM!
Caroline and Mimi have a chat about what to pick up next - lobster, sea cucumber, or hermit crab.....


Aunt Melissa gets the Star Fish!

Mohegan Island

We took a boat ride over to Mohegan Island for the day, where we walked, shopped in the cute stores, ate a delicious lunch (I had crab!), and hiked up to a gorgeous bluff. It was so quaint and picturesque!

The Balmy Days II - our boat






Papa and Caroline check out the waves...

Acadia National Park

Macie and Caroline got a little confused on the drive to Acadia National Park and kept saying, "I wanna go to Cational Playground!" (I guess we do use both park and playground to talk about their playground at home -oops). But, even thought there weren't swings, they were excited to eat lunch by the mountains, go hiking in the packs, and play on the beach! It was beautiful!!!
Caroline, Papa, Mimi, and Macie at the overlook - they had strict instructions to keep a firm grip on the girls! We were way up over Bar Harbor!

Smith-Woodson Family Picture!

Going through Acadia National Park, we stopped to have lunch at this beautiful spot and snapped a family pic.

Macie, Sarah, Brock, Lindsay, Mike, Caroline, Matt, Carol, Melissa, Charlie, and Clint!!!!

Popham Beach, Maine

So, you can tell we really loved the beaches in Maine. Popham beach went on forever in the low tide and we all had a great time exploring it....

M and C find a hole to play in!

Papa and Mike help the girls dig





Caroline cozies up to Lindsay

Caroline and Clint chase the sea gull!

And, somehow, Uncle Clint catches the speedy Caroline (like her use of his goggles? It's all about fashion!)











Southport Island, Maine

These pictures are from one of the first days we spent of the week we were in Maine with Mike's family to celebrate Mimi's (Carol's) retirement and 60th birthday! It was so much fun and we have definitely been missing the lobsters and beaches since....

Southport Beach - so pretty and relaxing!
