Popham Fort

Tom and the Girls in front of Popham Fort.

The fort is about 1 1/2 miles from the beach. Some of the fort is closed due to its safety.

It was still cool to see.

The view from the top of the Forts Tower.

So after a long day at the beach and the fort the girls enjoyed an ice cream cone

(evidence on nicole cheek) and then they both passed out.

A nice and quiet car ride for Tom and me.

We all had a very fun day out in the sun.

Popham Beach

Popham Beach is so interesting. As the tides change the beach forms a huge Sand Bar. Nicole is crossing a sort of canal that the tide change formed. The current was so strong.

As we walked across the girls could hold onto us and their body would go with the current.

The water was about 60-65 degrees, so Tom says. I think it was colder. And the sand was so soft and barely any shells in the water.

If only the Delaware beaches were this way I could actually relax every time we go to the beach.

Ceci was swiming in the water.

The water was a sort of a rust orange.

We kind of think it is from some sort of mineral deposit.

The water was also not very salty.

Here we are walking across the Sand Bar to the Island in the distance. The island was full of sea weed, that Ceci took a great liking to. It was fun just walking acrossthe water and looking for little treasures in the sand.

This is just a really cool picture Tom took.

As we were walking to the Island the two currents came together and formed this cool cris cross pattern.

Pemaquid Light House

One of the day trips we took was to Pemaquid Light house.

It was lots of fun walking on the rocks, and checking the little pools inbetween the rocks.

The light house also had a liitle museum and we made it 5 min. before it closed.

We then realized at that point that everything closes at the same time, so we made a dash to the rest rooms.

Walking around the light house grounds was nice and we enjoyed spending time with the family.

Mom, Carrie, Jamie, Nora and us on one of the rocks.

Just a fun picture before we left the light house.

Lobster Dinner

We went camping in FreePort Maine with Toms family last week.

It is always a blast.

One of the nights we had a Lobster dinner at the camp ground.

Yummy!

Just Girls

Here the girls are with their Grandma Nora.

We went to Rockwood Museum to watch Romeo and Juliet on the lawn. It was a beutiful day to spend outside.

Day in Philly

The last day Billy and Laura were in Philly we met Bill

for dinner. We found this cute Italian restaurant.

It was a fun night walking abound the town

As we were walking around the city Nicole walked over a subway grate.

Man was it hot.

It was the first time she had even realized that there were subway grates and what they are there for. When we went to NY the weather was different so it wasn't as noticable.

Polly and Billy before we headed back to Bills and Lauras hotel to get their luggage.

Bill and Laura on the East Coast

Billy and Laura were able to spend some time with us before they headed to their conference in Philly.

We spent the day by/in the pool and enjoying their company.
