lubec // day one

My husband’s family owns some land in Lubec, Maine (the Eastern-most town in the U.S.) and most years we spend at least a week there on vacation. It is a long drive — it usually takes us 9-10 hours — so the first day of the trip is mostly spent on the road. Last year we made the mistake of trying to drive in the night, which resulted in my husband feeling physically ill from all of the caffeine he had to ingest just to stay awake. This year we tried a different approach: leaving early in the morning (about 5:30am). We got to watch the sun rise as we waited at the Dunkin Donuts drive-through, but the early hour unfortunately meant that the little guy didn’t enough sleep or enough breakfast so he ended up getting sick, twice. But, we made it! It felt so good to get out of the car, stretch our legs, and gaze across the beautiful bay. And, we were even rewarded with a beautiful rainbow.

the beach // part three

By this point in the afternoon, Lillia was recharging with some fries after spending hours out in the waves, so this installment is pretty much all Zane. His reaction to the waves covered the whole spectrum of human emotions, from fear to exultation!

the beach // part two

In between boogie boarding sessions Lillia built a sand castle with Nanny and Papa. In the tradition of previous summers, the kingdom was named “Ozgard” (we think this might be Ozgard #5). Zane is very serious at the beach. It’s hard to get him to look up for a photo! I did eventually snap a couple where you can actually see his face.

Right now Lillia is: completely immersed in the world of Harry Potter; working on drawing human beings; feeling a lot of anxiety about her upcoming show — she’s in two numbers this year; and impatiently waiting for the town pool to open.

Right now Zane is: obsessed with trains, planes and automobiles; working on two-word sentences; eating a lot of berries; and just plain enjoying life.
