Well we had so much fun last year - WE'RE BACK!
We have decided as a family to blog our upcoming vacations - and bring you all along with us!
Well we got a little late of a start today since Nick and Mikayla were bowling in the Mass State Youth Bowling Championship Tournament - Mikayla had a 111 game!!! Yeah Mimi!
After they got home we got in the car and headed North.....our destination - Maine - the way life should be! (at least according to the signs)
We rented this house in Wells, Maine - 1400 sq ft, 4 bedrooms - perfect for us.
This vacation is completely about R&R - with a little fun thrown in!
So after arriving at the house - unpacking - and putting everything away - we decided to have some fun.....we head for the beach - Yes I said the beach!
Zachary was very upset because he really wanted to go swimming - but we convinced him that today was not the day - since we had other errands to run. But he did get to build a sand castle and volcano. Mimi found some drift she wanted to bring home. Nick did a polar bear swim. But by far - EVERYONE's favorite adventure - was feeding the seagulls. Now those of you who don't know it - Maine seagulls are different than Massachusetts seagulls. The Maine seagulls will take the food RIGHT out of your hand....but when they swarm all around you it can be a little intimidating! But great photo ops
We then hit Dollar tree, Hannafords for a few quick errands
Back at the house - after tacos for dinner - Mom and Mimi made muffins for tomorrows breakfast.
We watched Twilight - great movie.
Everyone is now getting ready for bed - dreaming about tomorrows adventure!
Trivia contest - Our house in SPencer, MA - is EXACTLY how far from Wells, ME?
Reply back with your answer - closest answer will win a prize from Maine! - Good Luck
See you tomorrow - check out the photos and videos!
