Maine - on the shore

While in Maine we camped at the Camden Hills State Park. Our campsite was a short walk from the shore.The Maine shore is very rocky.So. many. rocks.The rocks are great for climbingand skipping.I do love the places where water and land meet.I had a lot of fun taking photographs -over a thousand pictures of the trip!I'm just warning you that there might be a couple more posts on our vacation.  

Canada!

We have been traveling! Our trip started by driving east through Canada. We made a quick stop at Torontoand the bluffs just beyond.We were thrilled to leave the mosquitoes behind in Michigan and enjoyed a little wading at Sandbanks Provincial Park.We had lots of fun squishing the "seaweed" together and squeezing the water out to make balls to toss around. They were a lot like balls of felt but they fell apart again when they got wet.We stayed the night on Amherst Island and continued through Canada to Main. The scenery was lovely, especially in the "magic hour" light.We even saw a MOOSE cross the road just at dusk!Stay tuned for more from our trip. 

Gulf Coast Trip

We have returned from a trip to the Mississippi gulf coast.We stayed in a rental house on a narrow strip of land between the bayou and the gulf.It was a week of family fun. Me, my sisters, and our families - fourteen people in one house.  We ate lots of Michigan blueberries (twenty four pounds) picked the morning we left here.There was a ferry trip to Ship Island.We also explored the beach area near our rental house. In the heat of the day we entertained ourselves with jigsaw puzzles, hula hoops,Rummikub, chess, anagrams, dictionary,and lots of different card games.You can find more photos of our trip here.
