Cam Playing

Since we arrived Sunday evening, Cam has spent much of his time in the driveway, running around and playing with sticks.

Ian Watering Grammie's Plants

In the end, he probably got more water on the deck walls and on himself than on the plants.

Destroying the Sandcastle

As the tide came in, it became evident that our sandcastle wouldn't last, so the boys took great pleasure in knocking down the walls before the waves could.

Finishing the Sandcastle

I think it had been more than 20 years since the last time I made a "drip castle" -- drops of very wet sand make the castle look a bit like it's made of melted wax.

Starting the Sandcastle

Joanna, Cam, & Ian at Gooch's Beach, Kennebunk

I "forgot" to take the camera to last night's Stevenson presentation at the library, so this is our first pic from Maine. Grammie & Grampa went up to Moosehead this morning, and we stayed behind to go to the beach and visit a friend.
