maine

warning- this post in filled with pictures!
we got back from our little jaunt to maine on saturday.
a week in kennebunkport
with stops in ogunquit, portland, freeport.
we had a blast.
actually, more than a blast, but i am not sure they have a name for it!
the kids loved (almost) every minute.
we spent most of our time
going for looong walks (which is my favorite)
playing on loads of different beaches (also my favorite)
and 
eating ice cream (another total favorite of mine!)
you see, i planned an entire vacation for myself and then let the kids come.
and you know what?
their goals were the same as mine!
we played lots of kickball and wiffle ball in our big grassy backyard
and just spent LOTS
of time together.
and you know what?
it was wonderful!

 we ate ice cream EVERY day!
that was our one and only goal!









 the kids did LOADS of rock climbing!




 someone hijacked my camera and i found lots of pictures of nature and even a rare on of reza and i!

 all the stones used to build this church were found on the ocean floor.

 ada, hanging out at the bush compound.


 hanna. our character.











 elias with his lobster roll.  he did NOT like it. he even picked out a lobster for reza to eat, and when it arrived he almost cried.  he wished he had kept it as a pet.

 pals.












 saul loved, loved, loved the beach.  crawled straight into the water head first, chewed on rocks, and rolled in the sand.





 saul is quite the climber!




































 a very rare family picture!

we can't wait to go back!
