Apple Picking

On our way to Mack’s Apple Farm!

First stop, the Farm Market to get some doughnuts and enjoy the view.

A short drive and we made it to the orchard. Sam was just tall enough to peek through lol

Unfortunately, most of the apples on the lower branches fell off due to some frost so we had to get creative. Shaun really wanted those Honey Crisps!

Everyone wanted a turn on the ladder lol

Success! Came home with lots of yummy apples and some pears too!

Family Skate! (09.24.2023)

Open skate times are finally available at the Burlington Ice Palace!

Gabby’s classmate, Caroline, invited us to join her family out on the ice. 🙂 What a great idea!

Everyone was so excited; Sammy talked about skating all morning.

Gabby was having a blast hanging with her friend!

… but we were able to interrupt periodically!

This was Sammy’s first time on the ice! He loved it!

Little shaky to start, but he had lots and lots of help. 🙂

He kept getting up after every tumble, saying, “Again. Again.” He wanted to go fast too!

And he quickly started to find his feet!

End of Summer Maine Trip – Ogunquit Beach and Portland Children’s Museum

Special thanks to Jeff Trudeau for inspiring this trip; such a beautiful part of the Northeast.

Only a 75 minute car ride from our driveway to the beach parking lot at Ogunquit’s main beach. The kids bolted straight to the water! It was low tide when we arrived, so it was like 70-80 yards to reach the surf haha What an amazing beach!

Once the high tide chased us all the way in, we headed to check-in to the hotel. Sam always loves the hotel haha gets cozy right away.

Then out for dinner at Seacoast Pizza and Pasta, then dessert at Big Daddy’s Ice Cream!

Day 2 was a short jaunt up to Portland to visit their Children’s Museum! Both kids had a blast!
