Back to CT

On our way back to NY, we stopped in CT for a couple more nights. Grandma and Grandpa took us to the Italian festival where Grandpa enjoyed being a kid again! It was really nice to see family the past couple of weeks.

Fishing

The kids went fishing for the first time in Maine. Camden loved it, although he was getting upset that Riley kept catching the fish. He even snuck in and took her spot, and when she moved to his spot, she caught another one. It is a hard fact for the Holmes Men, but the girls will always be better fishers! After patiently waiting, Camden did catch a couple of fish, PHEW! It was nice to see the kids learn to fish where I learned to fish with my brothers, at about the same age.

Visiting Uncle Ryan

Uncle Ryan's house was FUN! The kids must have jumped into the living room for at least an hour non stop. This was the highlight of seeing Uncle Ryan. Camden was curious about the motorcycle, so he got to sit on the back while Ryan backed it out of the garage. After visiting we went back to Mimi and Pappi's house and then off to pan for gems.

Trip to Maine

Our first day in Maine was actually fairly nice...NO RAIN! Pappi took the kids for a ride on the four wheeler around the yard. The kids and I made a few trips to Rocky Ridge Orchard where Camden loved the old truck, and Riley loved the honey sticks. I loved the COOKIES so much i brought back a couplpe dozen to freeze. I must have eaten half on the way home though...YUMMMY!

Trip to Connecticut

The kids and I took a trip to Connecticut to visit my grandparents. We spent about 4 days with them and and their puppy Max. We were able to go to Grandpa's shop, go swimming, play bocce, and spend some nice qulity time together. We then went up to Maine to visit my parents. On our way up my college friend Kathy was on her way back from visiting her grandpartents in Augusta and was heading back to South Carolina. It was great that wer were able to meet for an hour even though it was only in passing. I got to hold her new baby girl!!!
