Gotcha Day #9

Yup. 9 years of loving Simon. Awesome. We had a good day- it started with an unpictured donut on the way to camp.  Then there was a fun day at a new camp.  Then fishing, massive Ice cream, a lobster for dinner, and several rolls down our favorite hill. 

Papa threatened to steal the ice cream!

Will's Stage Debut

Will was picked to go on stage at a show we saw recently.  He was brilliant.  A man in the audience took pictures for us which was good because we were laughing so hard.  Simon said he needed oxygen.  

Kayak The Harbor

We went in a family kayak trip!  It was Simkn's first time and he did great.  Though he did take a big rest along the way.  Will gets credit for paddling for two some of the time.

Up The Mountain

Simon and I took a lovely hike together.  The highlights were his climbing some tough spots like a rock star, eating tons of blueberries, waving to Grandma Jean, Papa Don, and Dad, and building a fairy house.  

Lobsters and Fish

Did you know that lobsters like to play minecraft and be cuddled?

Simon has been bugging us to learn to fish for ages.  So we found a good guide and went out on lake Megunticook.  

This fish I caught.  We didn't take many pics because we were all having so much fun fishing.  

Simon now has the fishing bug bad.  

Camp

Camp in Maine is everything you think it would be. 

Circle time. 

Goats.

Beech Hill

One of our very favorite places - 

They had a community poetry project going on. Simon wrote these.  

Will and I felt happy!
