Storyland/Maine Trip part 2

So, for the second part of our "escape from Ithaca" trip we made it to Maine. We got there on Thursday night and on Friday we jumped in the van and headed to the coast. I've visited Maine now a few times. Not once have I made it to the coast. This time I decided that wouldn't happen. So off we went. We went to a place that Josh remembered as a child - Perry's Nut House. It's just a shop with a lot of little trinkets and things to look at. The kids had fun looking around. . . maybe not as much as Josh, but it was fun.


Next we stopped, got some lunch and headed off to a park. Thank goodness Grandma Moxcey was with us. . . she knew right where to go. The park was right by the ocean and so we took our blanket down on the rocky beach and ate lunch. This was my favorite part of it all. I love the ocean. Cute Addison made it through all of Storyland without getting sun burnt. One hour at the beach and her little arms did get a little red, but they weren't too bad, they cleared up in a day or two. She is so cute.


Andrew enjoyed watching all the birds and just eating whatever we would give him. . . kinda like the birds!!


I finally braved the rocks and took my shoes and socks off to walk in the water. Brayden jumped at the chance to join me. He was so cute. I was showing him that we could bend over and put our hands in the water and he kept laughing and giggling. He thought it was cool we were in the ocean. He was cute though, he would bend down with his knees instead of his waist and so by the time he got out of the ocean his shorts were mostly wet. . . especially on his bum.


Evan saw we were having a lot of fun so despite his aversion to getting wet (previous post) he took his shoes off too and came in with us. This was such a great picture Josh captured of the two of them on our way out of the water.


I just had to include cute Addison. This is at Grandma Moxcey's place. She was nice enough to let us squish in and stay at the house.


This is Evan and Brayden enjoying the loot they got from their Grandpa and Grandma Cobb. Grandpa Cobb likes to go see what treasures he can find at the dollar store before each visit. He always comes away with great things. I never find such things at our dollar store.


On Sunday we had a Cobb reunion. We got together at a park and ate lunch and visited with family.


Great-Grandpa Cobb just loves these babies!! It was good he was able to hold them both at the same time. They are quite squirmy, but seemed to behave ok on his lap for the pictures!


This is Aunt Sue holding both babies. The babies were tired and ready for a nap.


After a short nap we were able to get some other great pictures taken. Here is Grandma and Grandpa Cobb with the babies.



Here is Grandma Cobb with both babies - both even smiley and cute!!



This is the whole clan minus about 3 people or so. It was good to see everyone.



Here is a cute quick video of the cute Addison squeals at the beach.
