So, we are all hopeful that we can at last store the winter parkas away. BUT, I am holding out a few more weeks. I am loving the highs in the upper 60's, but respect Maine enough to know that that can change in a few hours! The kids activities are beginning to wrap up as everyone frantically makes plans for the summer. Ethan's baseball season will continue a couple additional weeks since he MADE THE ALL-STAR TEAM! Fiona is kicking butt at the rock gym. Scott and I go to pick up the kids and she has 20 year old men fist-pumping her on her tremendous climbs! Ahead we have the 9th annual bounce house day, kayaking camp, watercolor and nature illustration camp (Fiona only), and another epic tent camping adventure for the whole family! I had the kids create wish lists of their own for what they wanted to achieve over the summer. The ideas range from para-sailing to riding a rollercoaster. We'll see what we can get to and what we can afford!

| So when we don't answer the door, Ethan's friends just hang out in the window. |
 |
| Fiona got BANGS!!! |
 |
| We took an amazing tour of Longfellow's house. |
 |
| Cathy and Cate came for a weekend. We headed to the Maine Wildlife Sanctuary. |
 |
| Cate. In a bear's mouth. With explosive hair on its belly. |
 |
| Big red fox. |
 |
| Oh, hello Theo! |
 |
| Fiona enjoyed four days alone with Gammy and Gampy. |
 |
| She was spoiled. |
 |
| And lavished in the down time, and peace away from her little bother. |
