Touching a Shark!

While we were in Maine, we visited the Department of Marine Resource's little aquarium. They have a few open top tanks where people can touch sea critters. This tank was home to some small sharks, including a couple of spiny dogfish sharks. Carson touched one! (Yes, this was allowed).

We boated by Ram Island Light one day.

Taking the plunge off the church float!

Cinnamon sticky rolls from the farmer's market boat.

We only slowed down enough to drop a line in the water one day. No bites though.

Fun in the sand.

Trip to Maine

Carson and mom spent 10 days travelling back east. All but a travel day on each end, were spent on the coast of Maine. We helped Grandpa Bill celebrate his 83rd birthday.

We spent a day at Pemaquid, checking out the lighthouse, a historic fort, and Pemaquid beach. Great day!

The day we arrived in Maine, Thomas the Tank Engine was in town. We got to see him and have a fun day.

We saw a farmer's market boat. It makes a run that includes stops in 7 harbors.
















This sailing vessel, the Friendship, was being worked on in the harbor.
