Summer Is Over!

Well my last week to enjoy my summer was great!!! Late Sunday night i headed up to camp with my friend Rach and Mrs. Weeks and her girls. My mom and Mrs. Berry and her boys were already there. We about froze the first night. It has been getting wicked cold lately and we didn't have enough blankets on the beds! It was sort of a gloomy day with overhanging clouds and a rain storm in the afternoon, but we went tubing and played games. Tuesday was the day they had to leave and like always it was gorgeous!!!! They hated to go but we got some jet skiing in, went kyaking and layed out for a little bit. Wednesday it rained so me and mom headed to Bangor for some school shopping. Now i hate shopping and i'm not very good at it, but we did quite well compared to previous years! We had to get a pedicure cause mom said she needed something for putting up with me all day! I had to take a 2 hr nap when we were done cause shopping wears me out!!! When we got back i built a nice fire with the wood in the woodshed and then we had a major thunder and lightning storm, but it made it through it all. Course when Nate and Dad showed up Dad was quite upset with me for using his hardwood in the shed!!! That is for inside the camp only and i was to use wood from brush piles outside. I was having trouble enough getting the fire going with his dry wood, I can't imagine trying to use the wet wood outside!!!!! I made him a nice s'more though and he cooled down. Thursday was quite nice and my relatives from South Carolina came up for the day. We ate no bakes and went tubing!! Friday me and Nate got up and went to Nan and Gramp's for breakfast. Lynn was still there and we had a nice little visit and enjoyed Nan's blueberry muffins!!! YUMMY!!!! I visited with Glo our neighbor a little that night and found out that we both enjoy cribbage so i went down and played a game with her the next day. Saturday was the best day of all and i really didn't want to leave but it was a good ending. We jet skied and visited. I played with my cousins Isaac and Caleb and layed out. It was sad to say good bye to everyone. The Libbys and Glo's clan are like a summer family and they are all so nice. I am going to really miss them this winter!!! Dad has been putting some siding onto the camp and it looks totally different! There will be more photos of camp in My Photo Album. Me and Nate made it home safely and Nate is going to show his slide presentation from Spain tonight in church! Well my church is having a cookout before the service since most of the college students are going to be leaving soon. Gotta go get ready!!!!

Family Reunion

William and Me
Well my last day of work went well. The kids were good and that helped the day go by. Triston made me the cutest card and i laughed so hard!!! In the afternoon i took just William and Triston outside to play for a bit. It was fun and i'm going to miss them!!
My parents and Nate picked me up from work and we headed to Bar Harbor. We stayed in this dumpy motel and we had the biggest thunder and lightning storm that we have seen all summer!!! The lightning was amazing!!! Saturday we went to Auntie Jo and Uncle Gary's place on the ocean for a little family reunion. We were celebrating Nanny and Gramp's 60th wedding anniversary!! Me and Nate went digging in the seaweed and found some crabs. One kept chasing after my leg!!!! We bought 60 lbs of lobstah and had a lobstah feed for lunch and they were sooo good!!!! I ate one and then me and Lynn sat and picked the leftover lobstahs. It took forever and we smelt so bad afterwards!!! We kept smelling our hands all afternoon. My hands got a little slippery and towards the end I cut myself on the shell. Right down my palm!! After we cleaned up we cut the cake and had homeade ice cream!!! YUMMY!!!!

Crownies!!!!

My bracelet
Well yesterday at day care me and some of the girls made bracelets. This was my first attempt so its not as good as some of you crafty people out there but i was impressed!!!! I just wish i had more to go with colors i chose!!! O well its not like i ever cared about that before!!
Today me and Nate took Arancha down to Manchester to catch her flight. We got there a little early so i had to sit in the parking lot for a little over an hour. I was sooo bored!!! There is only so much you can do in a car on a hot afternoon. Finally i picked Nate up and we headed to Standish to hear the girls sing. Unfortunately we missed our turn off and our road ended and we were on the beach!!!! So we finally got heading into the right direction and there were 2 accidents on the way. We saw the first one and the 2nd one had just happened. Ended up right in the middle of the highway!!! I don't think anyone was seriously hurt in either one though. We were only like 30 min. late but they were still singing and it was soo good to see them!!!! Unfortunatley we didn't get to stay for long. The girls had tried lobstah this afternoon and i was telling them of my pregnant lobstah experience last summer and Marla thought she was going to be sick cause she realized that hers had been pregnant as well. She thought the little red things were just part of lobstahs and didn't know they were eggs!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! It was wicked funny!!! I told them that they all needed to try some Moxie since they were in Maine and they said that they were going to pick one up when they headed out tomorrow!! Hope they enjoy it!!!!
Me all dressed up!!
