A weekend in Maine

We packed up the car Friday night and headed to Maine for the weekend. One of Owen's favorite places! Nana & Pop pop's gardens were in full bloom.

Kayak rides everyday.

Off to work on a project w/ Pop pop...must go get the proper tools first...

Pop pop, I think this is the drill bit we need...

Owen's first time using the drill...

fixing the dock...

Pop pop and Nana's new favorite spot to read.

Charlie ready for his first trip on the boat. I know, this life jacket/unitard is not meant for a 10 mo. old...but it was better than nothing.

Captian Owen and his first mate, Max.

so happy!

Daddy & his boys off for a walk in the woods...

Dinner at the sunset dock. Nothing better.

Ok, so no, our two year old is NOT drinking a beer. Amusing himself by peeling labels. And hey, pretty cool reflection in his shades? right?

Happy 10 month birthday Charlie!

our littly piggy...

Going shopping for a baby....

This was fun...until I decided that at any point, that cart could tip over and there would be Charlie, overturned on the hardwood floor. Was fun while it lasted. Charlie loved it and Owen thought it was hilarious!

Music class and play doe

"Aw what's wrong Charwi? Want to come to my music class?"

"Sing, Charwi, sing!"

"Now let's move on..this is a piano...go for it."

"My instructor left me! Now what?"

Ash & Adam, recognize this?
A rainy day in Dover called for Owen's first batch of "Play Doe"

He chose red and yellow...

pounding it with the lids... a good way for little boys to release some of that energy on rainy days!

4th of July in Maine

Hi Brody

Owen about to attempt his first mountain-he was so excited...Pop pop, Nana, Auntie Ash and Daddy were up for the adventure.

here we go...

a happy boy..in his element.

stop for a water break...

So, you might want to turn your head sideways to view this one....but it's pretty cute..

at the top, checking out the view.

time for some trail mix

Horray!

Apparently, Owen wanted to run down the mountain, and didn't want to walk. So Pop pop had to have Owen "help him" down the moutain by holding hands. Nice work pop pop.

Thank you very much...i'm outta here. This mountain was cake...onto the next challenge!

Buddies

Owen and Josh's jam session at the Clays. Looks like hiking and guitars are Owen's passions in life at age 2.
