Blueberries, Kayaking, and More

Just came back from Maine, where we went to visit Becky's Mom's B&B. It was a great inn at a great location in Southwest Harbor. We did a lot of walking and sightseeing. What a beautiful area! Andrew went kayaking with Rich and Becky had to go save them when they got stuck. Eric loved going on a hike.. he tried to pick up big boulders along the trail. We went to Acadia National Park. Andrew and I loved all the scenery but I think Eric was most impressed with the toy store that had dozens of the same mini-hummer that he has.
The kids were both so well behaved in the car and on the trip. Eric loved showing his cars to everyone and setting them up in a line over and over. Eric was especially impressed by the amount of blueberries in Maine. Ellie slept practically the whole trip but we did take some pics to show she went along.
The last night we went out to a lobster place by the water. We paid in three separate groups so they put a star on each of our receipts to show we were together. Imagine Eric's excitement at seeing those stars! Poor Ellie had one of her first major meltdowns at the restaurant so Mommy had to walk her around outside.
We had a really great time!!
