Point Sebago Days

We just got back from camping at Point Sebago today... we had such a good time, we already booked our stay next year! Point Sebago is an awesome family campground in Casco, Maine on Lake Sebago. They have tons of activities for the kids including camps, games, playgrounds, a splash park, paddle boats (and canoes and kayaks), mini golf, an arcade and..... oh yeah, the BEACH! The kids had SO much fun. We stayed in a "Travel Trailer". We thought it was just right. We had fun cooking out and having S'mores for dessert. We can't wait til next year. Our days were pretty busy but we had a lot of fun. Some of our favorite things were playing at the beach, going mini golfing, going fishing, going out on paddle boats, playing at the arcade, the playgrounds and just hanging out.

We're back!

Did you miss us? Did you know we were gone? Last Tuesday we left for what we thought was a day trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa but we ended up driving to PA to visit. Here are some pictures of the fun things we did.... On the way down, we stopped at the Stepping Stones Museum (of course) for a break. The kids had a great time. Eddie built some cars to race. Kevin enjoyed that as well. Everyone always loves the Waterway... I think that is their favorite thing!
Well, I thought I had a new way of posting pics but it doesn't seem to be working... so enjoy these and I'll post some more tomorrow. These are from the museum and then a fun playground near Auntie Diane's house. The kids enjoyed playing together.

Another Day at the Zoo!

Today we dropped Eddie off at camp and headed to the Franklin Park Zoo to "wake up the animals". It had rained very lightly at home and looked as though it had JUST finished raining when we got to the zoo... I noticed some big black clouds ahead and as we were making our way through the zebra area, it started downpouring. I put the raincovers down on the stroller and made a beeline for the tropical forest. We were able to stay in there and visit the animals til the rain passed and then we headed back to the car. Kevin fell asleep in the car on the way home... Ryan and I played a quick game of Zingo and now Ryan is in bed too. I'll wake them up at 2:30 and we'll be off to pick up Eddie from his last day of camp and then we're off to the pool for the night. Happy Friday everyone!

An update of sorts

We've been keeping ourselves busy here and attempting to keep cool with the heat wave we've been having. Monday we dropped Eddie off at camp and went to the Franklin Park Zoo. It was really fun. I had offered Kevin and Ryan to go to the pool and they said "NO pool... ZOOOOOOOOO!" It was so cute... so to keep them busy til we got there, I told them to keep looking for the zoo signs. So then every time they saw a sign on the highway, they yelled out "ANOTHER ONE" in unison. It was great. They loved seeing all the other kids, making new friends and asking everyone "What's happening?" and "What's up?"... too cute! Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't send Eddie to camp because of the heat... thinking he'd be so hot and then come to find out today they have air conditioning! D'oh! Oh well, Tuesday we spent ALL DAY at the pool... everyone was fine, and it didn't FEEL hot but I was not so good about doing my own sublock so I ended up with a big sunburn. Shame on me, I certainly know better than that by now. Wednesday we had planned on going back to the pool after going to playgroup... but at playgroup, I had to keep running to the bathroom to get sick! The sun does a number on me and I must have got a case of sun poisoning or something like that. So we postponed the pool, headed home for lunch and naps. I was able to lay down for a while which was good. Today was Thursday, I dropped Eddie off at camp, and took Kevin and Ryan to school. We have been working on "separation" and today was a success! Yippee! That means in the future, I'll be able to run out to Walmart and get a couple things done while they are in class. I've been watching the class from behind a two-way mirror and I must admit, it's pretty fun and interesting to watch... after school we went to the pool. We stayed in the inside pool since I was still pretty sore from the burn. When we got to the van after swimming, the thermometer in the car said the car's temperature was 107 degrees. So I started to think Eddie might be ready to leave early and I went to ask him if he wanted to go home. At first he said no, and then he said yes... and then he told me they had air conditioning and were watching a movie! Oh, well! Live and learn. Tomorrow he'll be there for the full day. It's supposed to be cooler anyway. I think Kevin and Ryan and I will be going to the Franklin Park Zoo. Then home for lunch and naps... then get Eddie and then we are meeting up with friends at the pool. Sounds like a good day to me!
