More Maine News and Wilderness Adventures

First of all, My youngest is the original Mowgli. (you know from jungle book) She can talk to the animals, or atleast sounds like she can. At almost 4, she is a wirey little urchin. She is hysterical. Brave and adventureous... always careful to check to make sure of 2 things. #1) I'm watching #2) I'm not watching

On the second day they discovered the Sunny Beds. She can't stay away from the fish. She's hysterical. She keeps saying "Awe they are so cute"... which belies her actual intent which it would seem is to stand in the middle of the bed to see if he fish will go after her.

She hasnt actually gotten to the middle of any of the beds, because I can tell by the look on her face when she does her "check" that she is up to mischief... Today I'm going to try to find some crawfish. I think the kids would get a kick out of them.

My middle daughter is having a great time in the water too... but differently. First, she won't take off her crocks, (I don't blame her) We swim in a shallow part of the lake and the bottom although sandy (long story about the sand) is still covered with decaying leaves and things. Anyway, she hops onto the Hydro-Slide a rigid plastic board meant to pull behind a boat, she just like to float around...

My 7 year old has fallen in love with snorkleing. She pulled up muscles and snails, grass and other things. They are havig a great time!

Me... I'm having a great time watching them!

Today is the 4th of July! I hope you and yours are celebrating and having a great time!

We will be returning home tomorrow at the crack of dawn! We all miss Rosie
