Tis that time of year when we pack the car to the BRIM and hit the road. We ALWAYS wish is was just a tad closer, but 9,5 hours later, we normally make it. I do love how colorful our car is -
We stopped at the brewery to feel up on the way there - impressed by al the solar panels!
See Rebecca over there - this is her inaugural visit! Meaning its the first and surely not the last visit for them. Liz is an expert at the whole camp thing. She flew into ME and met us there ready to head north.
Kids are ready to be kids -
In Maine, this look is normal.
Capturing the Briggs car and Moose head lake at the same time
The view from the Briggs car as we hit the dirt road. Commence beer and chip eating!
This is what we came for - beach time relaxing and kids playing
And digging to China of course
I can only imagine Frankie is singing to his momma while he takes her on this boat ride for 2
Bog Boots paired with bathing suit always a wise fashion choice!
Check out this full table - we overlapped a few days with Chris's cousin Annie and her family Efrim Emmet and Kevin. Sometimes when you are serving such a big group, 4 more isn't that big of a deal. I think they really enjoyed the additional folks too.
I was getting swarmed by mosquitos taking this photo
The hike up Lobster mountain.
Man Photo
Pretty impressive crew.
Totally want to remember these 2 chatting on their way down.
the best place to get away from the bugs!
Roxy snagged a nap when she could - huge hit spending time with her after just losing Pauli.
Boys and Frogs
Ashley's birthday and Rebecca orchestrated an AMAZING race across the beach for her
Fire was part of the challenge of course.
Here is team 2's progress.
Blazing!
Birthday dinner time -
the cake was DELICIOUS! a briggs family favorite!
Adorable to see frankie give his sister this gift as HE couldn't want to play with it!
Roxy got plenty of attention and snuggles - but look at that Drew hair! Adores!
Breakfast morning kid table
Sometimes you fish, sometimes you nap
sometimes you pick a TON of blueberries
Sometimes you wish someone would just row the boat.
or join you in the hammock
we had the WOD this morning and were now chilling on the beach as it was Rebecca and Asa's last day. We love their desire for adventure - they inspire us every day. Thankful to have them in our lives for this game called life - love that Liz could get to know them as well.
Some of more favorites.
Brian's game of - 'whats in YOUR panty' that is A LOT of beans!
PBJ - its what's for lunch
Another birthday up here!! GRANDMA!! She is known for celebrating her birthday up at camp - wether she likes it or not.
And for her birthday - a beautiful sunset!
My husband is an amazing guy - all week, he loved taking kiddos out fishing - as long as we supplied him with enough beer, he was good to go. rock star status!
we had the great fortune of being able to share a few days with Charlie, Alice and Emily too - they had just come from Kathryn's wedding. IT was so enjoyable getting time with them. I was glad I asked them to take some photos together on our last day.
Love these photos!
our leadbetter crew - see the photo bomb??
he is in there again!
Now on purpose
the 3 siblings who spent many a summer up at camp - and love it to this day.
They thankfully paired with spouses who love it almost as much.
this dog was just the sweetest - Kathryns dog and Alica and Charlie were in charge of babistting him. He is a rescue and the sweetest - Reggie - we went walking with him one day (not on a leash) as a particular scent, he turned and ran back, leaving Winslow and I by ourselves. We opted to turn and head back too - maybe a bear?? Either way, Reggie's nose is better than mine.
So thankful Liz joined us on the ride back. We stopped at a fabulous lester shack in Free port. BYOB and all - now the final leg home to shower!
Another successful camp week in the books!
