Maine Day 3

Up the mountain we go!

Pit stop to build some fairy houses

We made it!

Examining some remains on the way down the hill. Each boy had an opinion!

Maine Day 2!

Watching the 4th of July Parade

Leo and Grandma

It was a little loud!

Pee-stop on the way home from the parade and frog-jumping contest!

Thank you Grandma for the special treat of sparklers!

Happy boys

Yes, they did sleep eventually!

Maine Day 1

Here’s a taste of our first day in Maine – not including the sailing, running, motor boating, fishing, sand box playing, walking etc etc! More pics to come, this is only day 1!

Natalie swimming in the lake with Allan.

Finn “helping” Grandma get into the lake!

If only I had the audio on this laugh – post pushing Grandma over!

Donncha chilling on the dock.

I finally got my kayak in the water. Thank you Allan!!!

Oh the stories he can tell!!!

Nothing finishes off the perfect day in Maine like a good old marshmallow roasting in the awesome fire pit on the amazing new patio! Serious business here!

5 Months!

Donncha celebrated his 5th month birthday with a great weekend in Maine.

And the big news is he is now rolling! Back to front nonstop!

Having a chuckle with Finn after a successful roll.

Drooling all over his 5 month sign that Finn made for him.

Donncha Leapy

I’ve been meaning to capture this on video for awhile.  Finn’s nick-name for Donncha is Leapy. Well, actually the full nick-name is much longer (which poses the question, can it be considered a nick-name if it is substantially longer than the real name?). And despite our initial thoughts that the jupe part came from Cousin Jupiter the dog, it actually comes from a Dan Zane’s song… Enjoy.

Finn the photographer

Finn was in charge of the camera at the farm today and took these great shots. That is while he was not busy eating snap peas!
