Last Day of Vacation

Saturday we left for home, sad to leave, but anxious to get back. Before we left, we took pictures of all the great hiding places. The kids loved the "bridge" that walked from the stairs/bedroom to the loft and was above the open kitchen/living room. This was the highlight of "our log home in Maine". Kevin enjoyed the loft, this is where the TV is! I liked the loft, because it kept the family upstairs and I had peace downstairs.

View from the "bridge" looking down at the living room.

The loft had a large floor space, but as you can see, not a lot of head room. Camden and Riley loved hiding behind the TV and Couch (on the other side of the room).

Riley enjoyed this spot on the stairs. She would sit there and eat and drink, or play with her toys. I was always nervouse she would fall, so I teneded to tell her to go up or down, but not on the stairs. Peaking out from behind the couch, up in the low head room loft.

View from our front porch. Every morning I was the first out of bed and would drink tea and breath in the scent of Pine. On the clear days, there are mountains on the horizon. It is so beautiful.

We drove home Saturday through Canada, and had a little rougher time with the kids traveling than when we came to Maine. Riley had to pee every 20 minutes, and the kids kept screaming and fighting. There did not askn"are we there yet?" as often, and nap must have been a french term that day. None the less, I did manage to snap a picture of downtown Montreal from the van.We crossed over to the United States through Ogdensburg, and stopped for dinner before the last hour home. We figured we would be home by 6:00, perfect timing. Well...we found a little fair going on and of course took a 2 hour stop to enjoy. Delaying our trip home and driving through Riley Melt Down time. Here are a few pics from the fair. We made it home safe, and had a blast on our trip. We even had a day to unpack and settle back in. It was a great family trip, and very memorable for all of us!
