Back to reality!

Here are more pictures of camping. Robbie and the girls sitting relaxing on our 1 sunny day we had!


Tiz Kayaking


Robyn Kayaking



Robbie READING!! Well, its Uncle Henrys but still! Boots is glad that we are home!!! So much so, he's done nothing but meow constantly for the past few days!



Today we went out on "Available" to watch the launching of the tug "Lois Ann L Morin" at Washburn & Doughty. 1 year ago was the tragic fire that burned the place down completely. They've rebuilt a huge building and this was their first launching. The tug that was launched was in the building during the fire.



Getting ready to launch



We actually had the opportunity to go under sail on the boat! Weather was rainy, damp and cool - but the boat was so smooth and gorgeous. Believe it or not, I would like to go out on it on a sunny day!! That's a lot coming from me, because I'm not a boater!





Tiz had the pleasure and honor of announcing the launching, when the boat hit the water, by blowing the air horn!













Sorry, but I couldn't resist snapping this!!! PRICELESS!



So despite all the rain we've been having, we had a great camping trip! We went to the drive-in and saw Ice Age 3, went for nice long drives and fell in love with the Town of Caratunk! Its absolutely GORGEOUS in the mountains and a lake. Camped with good friends and already made reservations with them to go for 4days in August!
Now back to reality and back to work this weekend. Robyn has her last hour of driving on Saturday, and Robbie has the pleasure to ride with her (requirement is a parent must ride for an hour and shucks, I have to work - darn) and then hopefully within the next week or so she will have her drivers permit. Tiz is keeping herself busy playing with her American Girl doll and Barbies. We are just hoping that the sun comes out soon and stays for a while!!!
