Lowell Folk Festival

We had a lot of fun at the Folk Festival on Saturday. But I am afraid the old train beat out the Greek Band, Tibetan flute player, and Chinese Dragon Dance as the favorite activity!

Finn immediately got down on the ground to inspect the tracks and underside of the train

All aboard!

How fun is this!

Allan came home from his run Sunday morning and asked Finn to spray him with the hose. Pure fun.

Happy Birthday to Two Special Ladies!

We’re already overloaded with summer squash from the farm. We have now have stacks of squash bread (basically zucchini bread) in the freezer! Here is Finn after enjoying the spatula.

July 4th Weekend

We had a fabulous July 4th weekend at Mum and Dad’s new camp in Maine. Thanks for such a great weekend!

A happy Mum and Dad, Finn busy with his tape measure!

Allan got his boat in the water and had four brilliant days of sailing.

More pictures of the boat can be seen here

Classic Maine: a loon on the lake

Watching the July 4th parade in “downtown” Belgrade Lakes

Parade highlights:dressed up geese, the “police car” that had to keep having water added to it, horses, a truck from a local farm where the kids threw the crowd peas instead of candy, a lotus with GB & Union Jack stickers, some antique cars.

Poor Finny – he hates the noise of the fire trucks sirens. He believes that when he is a fireman he won’t have to hear the sirens because he’ll be inside the truck. But unfortunately for now parades are a mixed bag…

We couldn’t get Finn out of the lake by the end of the trip!

Skipper Allan and his able crew setting off

We participated in a fun race around the island in the middle of the lake, and did quite well, if I do say so myself! That little boat is quite speedy!

 

And they are off! In Dad’s new boat!

Lake fun
