Vacation Part 2 - Maine 2013

The second part of our vacation was our now annual trip up to Cobbessee Lake in Maine to visit Grandma Su-Su, Grandpa Herb, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Helki, and Annabel. It was a wonderful week filled with lots of our favorite activities.

swimming in the lake:

Both kids had a great time in the water which was very warm thanks to 90+ temps we had almost every day. Julia practiced her swimming, some diving, and lots of jumping off the dock. Benjamin was his usual adventurous self and would wade out until he was about chin-deep! He also loved jumping off the dock and there were quite a few times we had to catch him before he jumped in ahead of anyone else! 

fishing with Dad and Grandpa:

exploring the lake in Grandpa Herb's new boat:

a trip to the playground:

checking out the Children's Discovery Museum in Augusta:

picking Maine blueberries

building fairy gardens in the woods: 

and of course, lobstah!!

We didn't capture shots of all the ice cream that was eaten or the kids in action jumping off the dock so we'll have to try again when we're up there in August for our encore visit!
