Maine: The Way Life Should Be

There is a big sign when you cross the border from N.H. into Maine:
It is soooooooo true.
Cuyler, Abby, Colby & I made a quick trip up the Maine Coast this weekend to visit some relatives. They live in such a beautiful spot- right next to Acadia National Park. The weather was gorgeous and we did a ton of stuff in the short time we were there. One of the best things was when a neighbor called and said she had a ton of wild blueberries that were perfect for the pickin'. So we grabbed some baskets and tupperware and walked on over. The kids loved it. There were so many blueberries. Colby probably ate at least a pint straight from the bushes and from our baskets.

Abby snacking.

Cousin Brian shows Abby the techniques he
learned while he picked blueberries for a summer
job growing up.


Look at them all- totally wild - it was a HUGE field.

Colby snacks.
We also made the trek up Cadillac Mountain. What a view from up there!
Building site of our future home?
Colby stops running for a few seconds.

I've always wanted to go to Maine, and now I know I have to go, during blueberry season. Thanks for the update on the PP7th ward happenings. ;) much enjoyed them, and truly we've been surprised HOW much we've missed all y'all and Provo... You're kids grew way too much since we left...
