I'm on a Boat

The last few days have been very hot here in Maine. We have enjoyed many hours of swimming but the highlight was an evening on the Fords' boat. We swam, had a picnic dinner and spent a few hours playing with Matthew.

Strawberry Picking

We took advantage of an early strawberry picking day at Butternut Farm. Most of the kids were still in school so we had the whole place to ourselves. Anna had a blast with her friend Max running from row-to-row. She also enjoyed her first whoopy pie from Miss Megan.

Storyland

The second weekend of June we took Anna to Storyland. Like last year, the park was empty. After hesitating about the rides, Anna relaxed and had a blast. We were able to ride the roller coaster three times in a row not having to get off the ride. The highlight of the day for Anna was getting her face painted. Surprisingly Anna's choice was a princess.

Little Photographer

This is the pool where we will spend many, many hours this summer. Anna took the photo on Saturday. She is becoming a very good photographer.

New Castle Commons

Anna's end of the year field trip was to New Castle Commons. Anna loved playing in the water and was the only student to go all the way into the very cold water. She spent hours running around the playground and we were the last to leave.

School's out for the Summer!

Today was Anna's last day of school for the summer. She loved her teacher Miss Stacey and I think she is going to be sad next Tuesday when she doesn't have to go. We were very happy with Berwick Village Preschool and Anna will continue there in the fall.

Tinkerbell

Anna loves her new tinkerbell costume. On Monday she wouldn't take it off. After playing all afternoon with her friend Lucas she fell asleep on the couch about 5 p.m. still wearing it.
