Maine Photos part 1


This is our Cabin in Maine









We went swimming every day at the small beach by the cabin so here are a few photos from that.






Meet the Fetch and Carry IV...Fetch for short. This is the only motor boat on the lake so this is the boat you take when you come into the lake to get to your cabin with all your stuff. For us we park our car then take the Fetch about a mile up lake to our cabin.





This is one of the views off the dock. Ethan was looking for Frogs which we found a few...they like to hide under the dock.


Here is a picture of Ethan and Dad on top of the rock outside the cabin. Ethan just had to climb it every day. He said it was the biggest rock in the whole world. We even asked him to name it because he liked it so much so it's "rock really big rock". I said that maybe Bob would be a better name but was informed that No that's silly.

This is Daniel exploring around the cabin.
Ethan making sure Daniel doesn't fall while walking around the cabin.

Ethan and Dad kayaking out and back to whale rock...so named because it looks like a whale but Ethan says it's a dolphin.


Ethan learning to fish. Every morning we found ourselves on the end of the dock with a chunk of ham which we used for bait (great bait btw) catching fish. He hasn't quite figured out you only need to put the line in the water not the whole pole but he caught a bunch of fish so I guess it doesn't matter much.
So we went out to town one day to get cake and ice cream for our neighbors birthday and brought it back with dry ice. Jared of coerce had to play with the dry ice so this is what it looks like when you put it in a pop can. We also used a golf club to chip some into the pond...side note it just shatters because it's not that tough. We put some in balloons and watched them blow-up and then put a lot in balloons and watched them explode. And since we all know Jared loves to blow things up we put some in pop bottles sealed them and watched them explode. It was a lot louder and more destructive than we thought it would be
The the sunsets on the lake are really great here are two different ones I got a chance to catch on film.
Another view of the lake. This is at the club house during the annual picnic...it's one of the only chances you have to see other people while up at the cabin.
Ethan skinny dipping at the picnic with another 2 1/2 year old we meet up there....they are both very high energy kids and decided they were going swimming so just pealed off the clothes and in they went.
