Yea! Shop Rite has arrived!

We were so excited to visit the new Shop Rite in town, that we went Opening Day! And we found the Shop Rite bear waiting for us! Bobby and John posed for this memorable picture!

Bobby and the Cows!

Bobby's been visiting a farm outside of town and has surely made some friends! All the cows are girls, and they look quite interested in Bobby, or maybe not! And what was he doing inside the cow pen, anyway?!

Bobby the Artist!

Bobby has been taking art lessons in town, and LOVING it!

Each week he paints, uses pastels and charcoal, takes a nature walk, and makes things with clay.

He's almost done for the summer now, but he's looking forward to starting again in the Fall!

Our Trip to Maine!

We had a wonderful week in Maine with Poppop! Even though it was VERY hot at home, it was a comfortable 65 degrees there with an occasional shower that didn't really bother us much.

The ride was LONG! But we finally got there and were very excited!

We got to look at some boats in Bar Harbor. The view was spectacular! We looked for beach glass on the shore and brought some home with us.

And of course we got to eat lobsters, which is what everyone does in Bar Harbor. But MMMMM they were good!!!!!

On the way home we stopped in Mystic Seaport, took a swim in the pool and had dinner. The next day before we left, we went the the aquarium and saw alot of fish and penguins, and got to feed the birds in their screened-in sanctuary. It was awesome!

Fishing!

We went fishing at the pond and Bobby caught a Sunny! We didn't have very good luck that day, and it was really hot and sticky. We had alot of fun watching the family of ducks swimming around and being fed by another family. Maybe next time we go to the pond we'll feed the ducks instead of fishing!

The Airshow!

We took a ride to the Airshow in town - the Blue Angels were there and so was Poppop's Austin Healey! Bobby got to sit in a race car and on an old tractor. It was brutally hot, but we stuck it out long enough to see Poppop get a trophy for his car!

Many Apologies!

So, it's been quite some time since I've gotten to the computer to update... so, here goes. I'll just try to highlight some of our adventures so far this summer. Enjoy!
