Skipping Stones

Forgot to post yesterday ... it was a busy evening as my Mom and Step-dad arrived from Pennsylvania to stay with us for the week. It is much appreciated as I always seem more patient with the kids when there are more adults around.


During the day Monday the kids and I explored Southeast Harbor. About 2 miles away as the crow flies but a long U shaped 12 mile drive from here. We checked out the local bike shop, had a picnic on the water and ice cream in town. I had blueberry - yum. The boys spent most of an hour trying to skip stones and open mussel shells ... see the stone skipping in the picture?


Today we went into Bar Harbor and walked on a path to Bar Island. The path is submerged by the sea except for 2-4 hours around low tide. Hopefully, we will be back that way later when it is underwater so that we can see where we were - looked pretty open to me today. Skipping stones part two commenced on the shore of the island.

We also stopped in the whale museum and saw some gigantic whale skeletons. Jonah definitely would have fit in one! And of course ice cream part two ...
