Summer is here. Summer of 2018 that is.

**This was my last post from the end of summer 2018.  Going to try to catch up...until then...here's a look at the past. 

So much to catch up on, so let's start with the kick off of summer vacation first! 

School ended in late June and before we knew it, the week of the 4th was upon us.  Auntie Tanya was up taking a sailing class before visiting us for the weekend.  It was stifling hot, highest humidity, and blazing sunshine each day.  We sought somewhere to cool off. First stop, Deering Oaks park and the community wading area...

Then it was onto Portland Headlight for lunch with a view...

 

Then it was Reid State Park...where the waves are insane and the views pretty lovely.

Monday the heat continued and we were off to NH...I think I say this a lot, but even though I hate leaving Maine in the prime of summer, we just love the White Mountains and all it has to offer. First stop, Storyland.

 Then there was that time when Mommy spent an hour trying to get Maddy to get to bed in the hotel room...so many shenanigans. 

On our way to Diana's Bath...

An evening spent at the gorgeous Mt. Washington Hotel...

Next hot day...spent at Echo Lake...

Two years later, I'm finishing this post...so much more to say...
