Little Fish

Due to the extreme heat in this state (among several other differences, read: everything) we have really been missing home (Maine), particularly the summers in Maine. We grew up being outside and swimming all summer long, usually from sunup until well past sundown. Although the heat still hasn't let up, we reenacted a Maine summer day as best we could on Saturday, minus the family and (bonus!) the mosquitos.

In the morning we packed up the car and went to the lake that is tucked neatly into the corner of the post. We spent all morning swimming, building sandcastles, going down the waterslide, and picnicing.

J spent most of the time building sandcastles at the water's edge

H knows how to relax at the beach!

While we were at the lake our friends invited us over to their apartment complex to swim and cookout by the pool. We were sold.  We headed home from the beach just after lunch, attempted to get J down for a nap (Ha!) and spent a couple of hours inside, out of the hottest part of the day.

Fastforward to the pool. The water was perfect, the food was delicious, and the kids were in the water for almost four hours! Even Haven took a dip. She was a little shocked at first, but relaxed after a minute and even almost fell asleep!
