Taber has been itching to get up to Maine all summer and we finally got the chance to go a couple weeks ago with our Boston buddies the Draschils.
First on the agenda was a lobster boat tour. This was the 4th time we've done one but it never gets old. : )
The kids were excited that our captain reeled in several keepers or "keepas" as they pronounce it.
(Also I think it's kind of weird that the dude in sunglasses stared down our camera during this picture. If he wanted to be in the pic he could've at least smiled! ; )
Awesome picture of Teya, Brielle and Brinley sitting in front of the pier. I just love their messy hair, Bree's serious face and Brin staring off in the distance. Makes me smile : )
After our lobster tour we hit up a local ice cream stand.
(This girl takes her ice cream very seriously)
Cam was too tired for ice cream but I had to take a pic of those juicy lips : )
The girls also enjoyed hanging out on the dock watching some locals fish.
All of this was at Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine. It is so beautiful and picturesque there, I'm glad we made it up this year before the summer ended.
After our ice cream we loaded up the troops and headed over to the beach.
The kids wasted no time immersing themselves in the sand.
This was the first time we let Camden get in the sand and he thought he was in sandy buffet heaven! He seriously kept shoveling that stuff in his face like it was gourmet dining. I tried to stop him but it was a losing battle.
The girls wanted their legs buried but Taber and Joseph went one step further and buried their whole bodies.
Three little heads in the sand. Adorable.
The Draschil's baby Joslyn is a month older than Cam and has been sitting like a champ for months. Cam has always been a noodle boy and never had much interest in sitting up, but there's nothing like peer pressure from a cute girl to motivate a guy to action.
Look at me Mom!! I'm a big boy!!
(Thank you Joslyn for teaching Cam to sit ; )
Glad we got to enjoy such a beautiful day in Maine and extra glad we got to share it with the Draschils. Friends always make good things even better. : )

*Update*
So after I posted this I realized I forgot to include two of my favorite pics that Melinda took of our beach day with her super fancy DSLR. Definitely want these in the blog book so here they are :
This just makes me laugh. The drool, the sand under his nose, the scrunchy smile. Love that baby.
(Also can you believe those teeth?! )
(Also can you believe those teeth?! )
Me and my little man. I might have to blow this one up and frame it. So sweet.
