Our friends Gerry and Emily, from our New Hampshire days, their son Matt and dog Vax came to Maine for a few weeks this summer. Their arrival overlapped with our stay at the Clubhouse so we got to spend our first day on the boat and tubing, hiking Mount Philip and more boating.
After returning to our house and back to the reality of not living on a lake in Maine in summer, we enjoyed the pool, campfires and more hiking. Gabe had to work and Noah is at robotics camp this week, but the rest of us took Gerry, Emily, Matt and Vax to the peak of Bald Mountain in Weld. It was a perfect day and the view was fantastic. The kids did so well again, in fact, Ben cried when I had to break it to him that we couldn't continue on and hike the new trail that would have taken us to another peak and added 3 miles to the trip... legitimately cried... we will have to do this hike again later in the summer and add the second part on to it.
On Wednesday night after Gabe finished work, we got our awesome babysitter to come and watch all of the kids and the adults went out for dinner at the Kawahnee Inn. It was a pretty spectacular evening that summed up why we don't travel far out of Maine in the summer:)
Thursday, we said a temporary goodbye to the Carroll Family who were venturing to Rangeley for a few days. We really wished we could have joined them, but it wasn't meant to be. Instead, the kids and I got to visit Noah at robotics camp and see what he had been doing all week. They students were thrilled to show not only the robots they made, but also their programming skills to bring the robots to life.
