More Exploring and More Treehouse

 







On the heels of our Katahdin trip we didn't stay still for long.  We picked off a bit more of the treehouse by getting the roof on and starting on the walls. The kids are excited that it is really happening this time and it didn't get blown down by the wind storms like last time:) Gabe was pretty amazing in his willingness to climb up and put on the roof... I was mostly thankful that I didn't have to get up there!

The kids and I took a quick and unexpected day trip to Medway Wednesday to celebrate Nannie's birthday.  I think we were only there for 3 hours, but we did get to explore the Penobscot River trails.  They weren't renting bikes due to the recent COVID outbreak in the area, but we all enjoyed walking the trails and the kids can't wait to come back for biking and nordic skiing!

Today we met Uncle Doug and Aunt Sue "half way" at Grafton Notch in NH.  Sue had some of her dad's memorabilia from WWII she was giving the kids to explore (which they are beyond excited about!) and we drove to meet them half way between our home and theirs in Vermont.  We found a great little hike neither of us had done before and it was a great way to get out and stretch our legs before the drive home.  It was also lovely to get to catch-up with Doug, Sue, and the dogs for a bit. Not to mention that is was a beautiful blue bird day!
