Fun with Grey Grey

A fun Labor Day with Grey Grey. We ate catfish, pulled up peanuts to boil and went fishing. 






The Lion King

One of my favorite Disney movies. Mary and I saw it on broadway about 20 years ago...we saw it in Charlotte and it was still magical. 








1st Grade


So I was still a little tired from our trip and got the year wrong 😬

Acadia


We had a great trip to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park to end the Summer. We met our friends the Pearce’s and Wade and Max had a big time learning about the sea life and exploring the rocky coast line. 

Mike came down with a cold and opted out of our first night out. Wade enjoyed watching the lobster cracking but would not try it. 




It was overcast much of our trip but sooo much cooler than NC in August. There is nothing more this boy loves than climbing rocks. 


At low tide you can walk from Bar Harbor over to an island that is part of the NP.  This land bridge disappears as the tide rolls back in. 



Enjoying the view after the uphill hike!


Wade got another Jr Ranger badge for his quilt and Max earned his first. 



The highlight of the trip might have been Diver Ed’s Dive In theatre. I think the adults liked it as much as the kids. 


These goof balls insisted on swimming even though the water was in the 50’s






A great few days in Maine before starting first grade
