Summer with the Kids

This has been a hectic summer. The kids are getting to the point where they are no longer happy going to Just For Kids at the park. It seems like they always want to go to the lake or go to camp. Now I am not that unlike a lot of my friends, in that I don't actually mind going to camp. There is nothing quite like a moonlight boatride around the lake, followed by a nice campfire. The problem is that I still have to get up and go to work in the morning while everyone else can remain behind.
Still nothing can compare to the laughter you hear, the smells o fthe grill, and even the sunburns that you get. Memories for a lifetime!

This summer we were able to take a short vacation to Acadia State Park, and thank goodness it was not the week that the President was there. We enjoyed the vacation, even though it was short. The views from Cadillac Mountain are beyond compare.

We took in the Houlton Fair on the 4th of July following the parade, in what has become a family tradition. I will say that this year, they put on a very good fireworks display. I can't imagine that anyone was dissappointed in that.

Summer is flying by too quick - but at least we've been able to go out the Bangor Road this year on our way to the lake without a long detour, so we're not complaining!
