Destination: Shadow Lake Camp

I took a little trip to Maine this vacation.  Let's just say it wasn't my most successful trip - it was pouring rain the whole time, Heather and Cole didn't sleep well, the car broke down in the middle of NH. Other than simply being able to see my parents, it was not a great time. So let's forget about that and talk about a bike ride/hike/walk Wayne and I took this afternoon.
We decided to go "the back way" to Shadow Lake camp. Wayne had walked here with Joanie the other day and they saw some loons on the lake, so now he's all, "I want to go to Shadow Lake Camp," all the time. It was a great day, so while Wes wrestled with the van to get the power steering belt back on, Wayne and I headed out.

It was a quick hello,

and good-bye. We had to get back  for baseball practice.
Reality will hit hard in the morning - back to school for these guys.

  1. I thought maybe you had gone to Maine. So so so so so so so sorry to hear about the car breakdown. Can only imagine. Would take lice over a car breakdown with 2 kids in the rain in another state anyday. Ouch. Poor you. Glad you got to see your parents though.
    And glad you got to see Shadow Lake!

  2. Well, I guess the one good thing would be that the day we were driving back turned out to be warm and sunny. When the car started clunking around, I was able to pull off into a scenic turnout with picnic tables and a view of the still snowy Mt. Washington. Could have been a lot worse. We had snacks, juice, and the DVD player - everything you need in an emergency.

  3. Wayne is so strong to be able to ride his bike all the way to Shadow Lake Camp and back! I am very impressed!

    I am sorry that your trip to Maine didn't work out as well as you had planned. But, I am glad that you got to see your parents
