Now to work!
First thing we did was get them started on the dishes we had
been saving for them all week
A brief rest
They are allowed to rest long enough for Rebecca to explain
tomorrow's duties to them
In search of Squirrel Point Light
Its not a park...you have to trek through the countryside to find it.
A good walk
The walk through the woods was as nice as the destination
Apple Picking Time
Actually from the look of the apples, it looked like picking time was about a month earlier. Didn't stop Rebecca...
Through the Pines
Closer to the ocean, we switched to a pine forest
Almost there...
There were a lot of dangerous tree roots on this walk. Surprised
nobody did a face plant.
Squirrel Point Light
Here's the caretaker's house. Those windows at the top were unusual.
The Light
Protects ships coming up the Kennebeck. The Bath Shipyard is just a few more
miles up the river.
View from the river
Etc.
More picking
The last set of worm eaten apples didn't not put off Rebecca
Mystery Plant
Mom wanted to look up what this plant was later.
New Town Cemetery
All kinds of interesting cemeteries in Maine. This one was just off
the side of the road on our way back from Squirrel Point.
The "new" stones
These were the newer stones...from the mid 1800's.
Archeologist on site
This guy was looking for the foundations of a church that was apparently nearby
a long time ago. He knew quite a bit about the place. Here he showing Rebecca a
grave for a Revolutionary War soldier.
All but forgotten
This was interesting. These graves have been completely overgrown and
are being reclaimed by the forest.
Preparing to enter a scary building
They were screaming in terror just a few moments later.
3-13 Time!
I have to say, it's an awesome card game.
Victory for Mom.
She earns herself a cat butt.
Walker Art Museum
Couldn't break it to Mom that this wasn't an exhibit...
Crossing the mighty Androscoggin
In search of grub
Kabobs
I was proud of these
Scrabble time
Rebecca seems shocked that Mom could take the lead, however briefly.
Scheming
But you know she is up to something...
What does this subtle smile say to you?
Seven letter word being used on a triple word square...
