Did I Say Torture?

Ok,ok. It wasn't that bad!

I know yesterday I said I was being tortured. It turned out to be fun.

The little kids had a great time in the amusement park. The other side was a water park, they didn't care for that.

The big girls were on their own with friends. They had a blast.

Later in the day we (all 15 of us!)came together and the adult got to go on the big rides. Roller coasters and all. That is what made it better.

Maybe I was just jealous that Katie and Tommy were having all the fun and I had to watch.

We stayed there until about 7:30.

We have a few days left. We leave here Saturday.

Being tortured

As I write this I am sitting in 88 degree weather, hot sun, being tortured at an amusement park.

The big girls are off on their own with friends. Chris and I are watching the little ones go on rides.

We are on vacation in Maine. The week has been great. Today....not so much.

The things we do for our kids!

Back from Vacation!

Whew.......was it really a vacation? I think for everyone else but Mom. They are fun, but why do us Mom's have to do everything? It is Wednesday and I am still unpacking and doing laundry.

We went to our favorite vacation spot (that we can drive to!) York Beach, Maine. We have a friend who has a cottage there and have been going there for about 6 or 7 years. We have, what I like to call, "summer friends" there. We only see them during the summer and it is like we never left. It is so nice.

Here are a few pictures!

The little ones LOVE going for a Trolley ride. Even though it is used to go back and for the to the beach or downtown, we use it as an event!


Casey and Kate in the water!

There is a great place near there called "The Marginal Way" it is a walk you take around the cliffs and beach.

Katie decided she LOVED my Clam Chowder. She stole it from me and ate it all!

And for a funny laugh, this is how Katie decided she liked to eat Goldfish on the beach. EWWWW
