Upta Camp - April '12

Even though it was the middle of April, there was still SNOW on the banks of the river!

Kiko :)

Down at the "rocky beach" of Auntie D's river

There's Kiko again!

Now you see her...

...now you don't :)

Throwing rocks in the river - VERY fun!

Iz grabbed Auntie D's binoculars and bird book and headed out to the hammock for some bird watching

My usual crap Scrabble letters :/

The only thing I could spell was E-I-E-I-O

Another trek down to the water

Yoga maybe?

Iz was constantly putting her feet in the icy water...don't know how she could stand it!

A walk down to the stream to try and build a dam :)

A quick stop at the playground before the LONG drive home!

Another AWESOME trip upta camp - THANKS Auntie D!!!!

Upta Camp - Creativity

When we were Upta Camp last month Iz and I walked down to the river and she collected some stones while we were there. She then proceeded to spend HOURS playing with them...mainly by making designs and pictures. 

We've got quite the creative girl on our hands :)

Upta Camp - October '11

Auntie D and I have been planning on going upta camp Columbus Day weekend for about a year now and, surprisingly enough, the weather actually worked out in our favor (for the most part). 

Day 1 was super cold but that didn't stop Iz from spending a little time outside enjoying the new addition to camp since the last time we were there!

Sweet Kiko :)

Ta-da!

Day 2 was much warmer so we all piled in my little car and drove almost to Canada :)

Silliness makes the any car ride go much quicker!

We drove almost to Canada to hike this path and do a little leaf-peeping!

This was our goal...Moxie Falls :)

A glimpse of the river.

Top of the Falls.

Looking down...scary!

Moxie Falls

Awesome. Beautiful. Frightening. LOUD. Amazing!

These steps weren't nearly as bad going down to get to the falls as they were going back UP. UGH!

We saw a sign on the way home for a "historic site" so we had to pull over and check it out.

Click to enlarge and see what happened right here in little ol' Maine :)

A view of the river from the historic site....gorgeous!

Super-fun trip to camp (as usual!)....can't wait to go again. February vaca maybe???
