Summer Fun: Funtown!

We headed to Funtown on the 2nd to celebrate Iz's first week of school and check another item off our list. It ended up being a beautiful day and the place was practically deserted :) I expected we'd be there a couple hours but, after a chance meeting with an old co-worker and his kids which gave us someone to hang with, we ended up there ALL day! 6+ hours and it was a BLAST!

Pictures speak louder than words and I know you're just here for the pics so...ENJOY!

Summer Fun: York's Wild Kingdom!

We are so fortunate to have people in our life that are willing to come along when we do all these fun things....Mimi and L joined us at the zoo Tuesday for a beautiful, FUN day :)

Feeding the ducks....

....and the goats. Mimi loved the goats...every time she fed one she would squeal and go "yum yum yum" Adorable!

Iz got up close and personal with one of the deer. She was fascinated by it!

Silly pics - chocolate covered bananas!!!

MORE goats!

We walked over to the beach while we were nearby to play for a few minutes on the awesome playground there.

With the exception of Mimi getting STUNG while we were waiting in line to buy our tickets it was another AWESOME FUN summer day :)

Summer Fun: Union Fair!

Hubby has talked about the Union Fair every year and every year it passes by before we get a chance to go up. Not this year though :) I made a point to mark the dates on our calendar, "like" the fair on FB so I'd get reminders and put it as an item on our Summer Fun List - all to ensure that THIS year we would make it up.

We piled in the car bright and early and we there late morning. Hubby wanted to make sure we were able to catch the K-9 demo the State Police was doing - he's a sucker for shepards and we weren't disappointed by the all black one at the fair! She was a sweetie and the officer with her put on a great presentation :)

A fair isn't a fair without all the animals...

A little pretend :)

A quick game or two...

Some tractors...

Cotton candy!

We had so much fun! A nice, small, fun fair :)

Summer Fun: The Ocean, Part 2

Our fun list listed going to the ocean 2+ times so, for our second trip, we headed over to Fort Williams with Mel and her boys to explore the forts, climb rocks, have a picnic, splash round and check out the lighthouse. AWESOME!

My fave picture of the day....Iz and her best buddies :)

The fort tunnel...good thing we brought flashlights!

Looking for snails...LOTS and LOTS of snails :)

Portland Head Light - gorgeous!

Summer Fun: The Ocean, Part 1

After a CRAZY July we've been trying to pack pretty much our entire summer fun list into the month of August (and probably most of Spetember!) but we're determined to check off as many things as we can. We twisted WW's arm (not!) and dragged her along with us to one of my favorite places...the OCEAN!

Hauling our stuff...

Posing - I spent almost every summer of my life just a couple of miles from this beach and spent many a day exploring tidepools, jumping waves and, when I was older, sunbathing and checking out the lifeguards :)

The partly cloudy day didn't stop my girl from having a super fun time!

It wasn't long before she made a new friend and they worked hard on a castle even though the sand was a little too wet for building!

We've been looking for a reasonably priced boogey board for a couple weeks now and found one right before we got to the beach!!!

SO.MUCH.FUN!

Thanks for going with us WW...and for being smart enough to actually BRING a camera!!! :)
