Laudholm Farm –Wells-Part I

Last Friday we met up with the Todd’s for a walk around the park-it is a National Estuarine Research Reserve. I loved it there. I kept saying to Carrie over and over…”why haven’t I been here before?!”. It has many well marked trails..ocean views…ocean access and a learning center.

It was one of those days… the weather, the company, the setting.

It was simply fantastic.

I will now inundate you with most (some) of the pictures I (or Carrie) took. I hope they convey what a special day it was for Alec and I.

 

And one last shot…my favorite kind…paths.

A warning

Just to let you know …if you leave your child with me…

I will let them dig in the dirt and play with worms.

I will let them eat sugar:

I will let them drink from the hose:

I will let them drive wildly:

I will put them to work cleaning too.

 

I’ll even let them make the water table into a mud table.

Just a little warning. :)

Bangor

Alec and took a day trip to Bangor a few weeks ago-it was a quick few hours. One of our stops was the Bangor Forest for walk in the woods with Julie and Alexis. We were going to walk through the Bog but it was closed until May.

The reason for the trip. A dress fitting for Katie.

And then we left.

Like I said….we were there for a few hours. :)

Beach

A few shots from the beach the other night.We are soaking up these nice above average temperatures.

Water looks cold huh?  I bet it was. I wouldn’t know though…I didn’t get too close!

Gone Biking…

On Monday we took Alec for a bike ride along the Eastern Trail.  Portland Trails just upgraded the Saco portion and built a bridge over Rte 1 to make it easily accessible.  We did the portion from Hannaford to Thornton and then back –Alec decided that was not enough and we kept going on the other portion that goes north into Old Orchard Beach. We went a few miles on that side. Alec was a trooper and managed to ride pretty far for such small little legs.

 

 

 

  

 

 

   

 

    

  

 

  

  

Alec thought it was super cool to ride over the bridge and look down on all the cars. I have to admit that I thought it was pretty cool too. The weather was beautiful – the ride was excellent and spending time with my boys outside was the best. All that biking gave Alec lots of experience and I think we are ready to pull off those training wheels soon. Oh boy. My boy is growing up!

2 thumbs up!
