Happy Sunday
After everyone gets up and enjoys some homemade Blueberry, chocolate chip or Apple cinnamon Muffins - and everyone showers - the King Family decides to do some exploring before our overnight guests arrive.
We head South down Rt 1.

Our mission is just to scout out what we would like to ezplore more this coming week. Ogunquit Beach we decide would be a great place to fly a kite one day. We decide we would like to go back to Perkins Cove and walk Marginal Way.
On our drive - we go by all these beautiful huge houses along the coast. Nick tell us he is going to own one when he gets older (so we'll all have some place to come spend the summers!) He also tells us he wants to get married here on the beach (so we better all save our money!)

We travel down to Nubble Lighthouse at Cape Neddick. Nubble Light is one of the worlds most photographed Lighthouse in the world. It was built in 1879. It stands 41 feet tall and is constructed of cast iron plates lined inside with bricks. Nubble Light emits a red flashing light which can be seen 88 feet above the ocean. The Lighthouse sits just off the coast on a tiny rocky island - known as a Nubble - which is where the Lighthouse gets its name. The only way to get to it is either by boat or by the little basket that kind of resembles a ski lift and you are pulled across.

On the way back to the house we stop in the center of Ogunquit and visit the little Gift Shops, bakery and candy store in the center. We head back to the house to wait for our guests. While we are waiting we have a game of WAR. The prize - the last can of Coke - and the winner .........Mikayla
Next we play Old Maid - and Go Fish - winner - Nicholas. Finally Nick and Mikayla teach mom a game called President (which I think they made up!) But guess who won.......Mom.....Mikayla is neutral......and Nick is Twinkee Boy!

Our guests arrive - Uncle Dave, Aunt Lisa, Jenny, Mel and Bill! After unpacking - Kathy and all the kids head to beach while Lisa and Dave head to the store. The kids have fun running, digging, walking in the water - and finally of course - feeding the seagulls.

We have dinner. Bill, Nick and Zack have a great time hanging out. Mimi, Mel and Jenny decorate the girls room. While the adults just hand out. We play some cards - Mel won $7 in Pass the Ace. We play a very loud game of Pit (I got 2, I got 2, I got 2)

Finally we decide to head to bed (Jenny and Bill are going to the beach for sunrise at 510am) See you tomorrow.

Todays trivia - This famous game maker is from Maine....Who is he?
