Like we do every summer, we headed up to Maine for our annual visit with our friends! This year, because of the weather we skipped Funtown Splashtown and just drove straight up to our friends house. It was, as always a fun visit and now that the kids are all older we actually had the chance to go out sans kids one night!
August 2nd - Downtown Street Festival
When we arrived, there was a downtown festival that we decided to take the kids to that night. It was a lot of fun and we ended up staying until the end. We got them bracelets to do the bounce houses and then gave them a choice at the end of the night to do one extra thing - David tried to ride the bull and the rest of the kids did the trampoline. |

August 3rd - Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse
On Wednesday we took the kids out to explore at the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. Ben had a softball game that night so we needed to be back in time for that. It was a gorgeous day and the views from the lighthouse were spectacular! |

Ben's team was short a player in their game so they asked Charlie to play! It was fun to watch, they got killed by the other team but they had fun and the kids enjoyed running around and eating pizza at the park.

August 4th - Wild Acadia Fun Park & Water Slides
On Thursday we headed towards Bar Harbor to try out this place that had a ropes course. Our boys had such a great time trying it out when we went to the one back in June. This place also had some water slides and mini-golf so we packed lunches and made a day of it. |
| Mini-Golf Fun! |
 |
| Ready to get their ropes course on! |
 |
| But first, a lesson in safety. |

August 5th - Lake Day!
Our favorite day of our trip! The day we get to hang out at Swan Lake and take the boat out. The water level was so low that we could jump off the docks this year so we had to wait until we got out into the middle of the lake before it was safe to jump. |

August 6th - Star Trek Beyond and a Double Date!
On Saturday we took the kids to see the new Star Trek movie in the afternoon and then we made up some dinner for the kids and left them with a baby sitter so that we could have some time out just us grown ups! |
 |
| Much needed grown up time! |
 |
| I'm the designated driver! |
August 7th - Seadogs Game
Our last day we drove down to Portaland to catch the Seadogs game. It was bright in the sun and hot, but nothing a little ice cream couldn't fix. David really got into the game and they won so it was even better! |
