Cross Country

Reed had his first cross country meet and ran a 7:42 mile. I'm impressed!

Reed had a week full of 9th birthday celebrations - family dinner, school donuts and friend party at Rec Room. Happy birthday, Reed!

First Day of School

We have a 4th grader and a 6th grader!

Camden

Our final stop was Camden, Maine. We stopped at the Penobscot Narrows Bridge on the way and visited the observatory in the top of the bridge. Once we arrived in Camden, we had a quick ice cream break and walked around town a little bit. After dinner we had smores at the hotel and got a good night's sleep for the trip home.

Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor was fantastic!! After a four hour drive up to Bar Harbor with a stop for seafood, we were ready to relax! On our first night, we played a little tennis, checked out the pool and bay (super cold!) and had some amores by the pool.

On our first full day in Bar Harbor, we walked across the bay at low tide to climb the summit of Bar Island right across from our hotel. We drove over to Acadia National Park and checked out a super cool trail near Sand Beach. Finally, we had dinner downtown and grabbed some ice cream. 

On our final full day, we took another great hike in Acadia up to a lake carved by a glacier. After hiking all morning, we had lobster for lunch and headed back to the pool and tennis courts. The boys hung at the hotel Kids Club while Brian and I went to a quick dinner. We finished up with a little night swimming. We were not ready to leave!
