Day #4 Jordan Pond, Bubble Mountain and Cadillac Mountain

It's MY birthday!! I started off with a GORGEOUS run in the harbor. 

We headed to Jordan Pond to hike around before enjoying lunch and yummy popovers at Jordan Pond Restaurant. 

Those are the Bubble Mountains in the background that we hiked later in the day.

Julian and I couldn't quite keep up with the boys running around the pond.

The bottom of the hike up South Bubble Mountain (730 ft).  After we got about half way, a lady told us there wasn't any way we would be getting to the top with the backpack. So we dropped it, with a sleeping baby inside.

Just kidding, I went with Andrew to the (almost) summit. He got a little nervous after we shimmied through a narrow crevice. So we didn't make it to the top on this day. But we came close.

From there we took the easy way out and drove up to the top of Cadillac Mountain (1530ft). Some more commanding views in every direction. 

 Not a great self timer one there...

We went out to dinner with some crazy, wound up, whiney children and headed home. On to day 5!!

Day #3 Thunder Hole and Otter Point

We finally scoped out the trails a little better and picked the few hikes we knew we wanted to get in before our time was up. We really thought the boys would like Thunder Hole, which they did, even though it was low tide.

The boys loved this spot on Otter Point. The tide was still low so they were just barely getting splashed.

This was hilarious. Ryan had a little accident while we were out on the trail and I didn't have any shorts for him. Or anyone for that matter.  But I found these, buried in the bottom of the diaper bag. Size 3-6 month pants. He rocked them. Very well. Even wanted to wear them the next day.  

Yes, ice cream, again….

Day#2 Shore Path

Day two started with a delicious breakfast at Two Cats and then a leisurely stroll down the Shore Path.  We really should just invest in a bunch of rocks to pour in our apartment with a small pond. I think the boys would be completely entertained. 

Only day #2 and this was Ryan at 615pm.  One tired monkey.

This was Dad and Sherri's last night and they offered their babysitting services so Chris and I could go out and celebrate my birthday a few days early. We went to Lompac Cafe and had some delicious mussels and Tikka.  Then ice cream, again… We then went to the Improv and laughed our hiney's off. Thanks Dad and Sherri!! We were so glad you could come up for a few days!
