Rooney Reunion
We took a short detour on our way home from Maine to say hello to the Rooney family at their reunion in New Hampshire. I think it is so neat that A and I met the summer we were Elliott's age.
Maine-cation
We went on vacation with the extended Flahuvan family this week and stayed in a GORGEOUS house up north of Bar Harbor.
If we had more kids or pets, they'd have to go on the roof.
Yes please.
Danger McMoens spent the week finding the most treacherous things to play with and do.
Tired girls watching a movie (Elliott was partial to the chimney sweep scene in "Mary Popcorn.").
A little light reading ... Picking out random passages from romance novels to read aloud is almost as fun as grown-up choose-your-own-adventure.
The girls were constantly on the hunt for animals -- real and imaginary.
E didn't quite understand how to make her hands into binoculars ...
Who needs an electronic alarm system when you have the biggest guard moths EVER.
Collecting rocks in her "pocket" aka my back.
Careful Ant Lindsay!
Jas had to work most of the week so I tried to keep E away from him -- she learned that if he doesn't respond to "DADDY! HEY DADDY!" he might respond to "JASON! JASON!"
Danger McMoens was getting into trouble while we were making dinner so we had to keep her contained.
Scout got some love and attention.
The girls racked up some serious mileage running up and down this hallway.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the Flahuvans for letting our chaotic family join in on their vacation. Hopefully they were able to sleep late once we left ...

Diver Ed
We had two gorgeous beach days and two rainy days. One rainy morning we took the kids on the "Diver Ed" tour. It was way better than a whale watch -- Diver Ed goes scuba diving with a high def video camera and then brings up a bunch of creepy crawlies for the kids to touch.
"Diver Ed on TV!"
"Who wants to touch a lobster?"
"I do! I do!"
In reality, the only animals she willingly touched were these Newfoundlands:

Bah Hah-bah
Elliott loves to swim. One afternoon, we went to Acadia National Park and swam at Echo Lake.
Blowing bubbles in the water:
Not ugly.
Apparently she likes corn on the cob.
Spinning!
She also likes ice cream.
