Maine August "08"

We just got back from a weeks long vacation in Maine with grandpa. The girls had a great week full of chasing and feeding ducks, getting muddy, "black sticky bugs", and moose hunting. The 1st day there was slightly stressful as it would rain on and off every couple of minutes. This really made our already very muddy swampland of a campsite even more swampy. I thought we were living with Shrek. After talking with the campground and eventually moving across the dirt street to a lake-front campsite everyone was far more comfortable and dry. Sofia enjoyed her 1st dip in the lake and even tried eating some dirt off of a shovel. You will see later she didn't enjoy it as much as she had though she would. Kayla was most happy when she was in the lake or chasing the ducks around the campground. That was until the black sticky bug (or leech) attached itself to her heal.  PIcture taken on our boat ride around the lake and up the river

What does this taste like?

Yuck!

So, all in all the trip went great. Sofia did very well on the trip up and back. She normally last 20 minutes on car trips before she cries. She did the 6 hour trip very well. Kayla did well too. Although she asked that famous question...are we there yet not 10 minutes after leaving grandpa's house.
