Well, after many days on the road and having lots of fun, we are glad to be home again. After my birthday on June 10, I find out that one of the presents was a trip with the whole family to a vacation town in the State of Maine. Old Orchard Beach. We had a great time while there. Here are some of the pictures.
It was nice and sunny on the first few days and really warm. We took advantage of that by going to the beach. A five minute walk from the house we stayed in. The water was very cold, but that didn't stop the younger kids from going in. Damaris in the middle, Caleb on the left and Micaiah on the right. The next picture picture is of the older ones playing a game in the kitchen. The house was huge, there was enough room for all of us and then some.
One evening Jordan got the charcoal BBQ going and we did smores on it. We were not allowed to have a camp fire in the yard, so we made it work with the Barby Q , it worked great, here is a picture with me and the girls enjoying some good smores.
We also spend a day at the Kittery Outlet Stores. A special place for teens to get cheap brand name clothes. But we also found a store we liked in particular. The Lindt Chocolate Outlet store. One lb of Lindt chocolates for 7.50 US. You can't go wrong with that.
The next day we went To Mount Washington for the day. Not all of us went, but here is a picture of the crew that went up. I will share more pictures of that adventure later. The view was awesome. Pictures may tell you a thousand words each, but they are very inadequate for this instance.
The last one shows the guys at the waterfall that we hiked to. It was the same crew that went up the mountain. And they are from left to right, me, Mary, Caleb, Tim, Rebecca, Kayla, Pete and Jordan. The actual waterfall was on top of the part you can see behind us, altogether it was over a hundred feet high. It took about half an hour of hiking to get to, it was well worth it.
Well, I could go on and on, but that will have to wait until next time. It was great to be able to spend this time together. I have many more pictures and memories. The whole family worked well together this week. It was very rewarding. I am very Blessed to be a part of this family!
