Ocean Point

It was a perfect Maine day last weekend so we spend it on the coast at one of our favorite spots: Ocean Point.

We arrived a little just in time to see an excavator being loaded onto a barge. Not only was this cool for the kids in general, it also happens to coincide with what Molly is studying in class. So now she gets to go into school and tell them about all the cool things she saw over the weekend. Pretty neat (we have a video of it that's about 13 minutes long. If you're interested let me know and I can send you the link).

The kids were mesmerized by the whole affair. 

Then it was on to picnic time. Wes enjoyed hamming it up for the cameras. 

Grammie and Gramp joined us for the picnic. Apparently Wes was either explaining something or giving us directions here. 

Molly loved climbing all over the rocks. She even managed to sit still for a picture too. 

At the end of the picnic the barge was back without the excavator. The kids were happy to take a picture in front of it. 

In our drive out of Ocean Point we noticed a new nature preserve. So we deduced to take a hike. When we were in the middle of the deep, dark woods, I asked Molly if she thought there were any Gruffalos (from one of their books) that loved here. This was her reaction. 

Walking in the woods. 

Showing us what the leaves do. 

We found a beautiful little spot hidden inside another beautiful spot. It was a great day.
