I Always Wanted a Book with Some Legs Attached

Fishing/MDIBL

As our extended New England adventure continues we went fishing early in the morning, went out to Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory for the afternoon, and then got some lobsters for dinner.  Soon to follow will be pictures from our exciting whale watching trip on the super fast Catamaran, our hike up ?Gorham? Mtn, and our trip to Thunder Hole (where we risked life and limb in the name of exploration).

Beach Tour '10 cont.

As RI Beach Tour '10 continues we hit East Beach yesterday. I had never been there before (nor had my mom who's lived in the area all her life) and it was an unusual beach. The parking lot was very small so it filled fast and it had two swimming areas. One was the obvious beach side and the other was a small salt pond for kids. Cayden LOVED the little kids area and spent most of the time waist deep with Vavo playing with (tortuing) ctenophores.

The main beach side was really nice, although the entry was very steep and the waves broke right onshore. Amazingly enough there were people attempting to boogie-board. They would pick up the wave 5 feet from the shore, throw themselves into the brown, churning maelstrom of rough sand and get thrown straight down onto the sand while getting a seashell enema. So I tried it once. It was not fun.

Driving Like Raymond

For the first time ever Grandpa-Bear sits in the passenger seat of his cherry Honda S2000.  I cant beleive my kid made it to the driver's seat of that car before I did.  Little bugger.
