We bought a minivan and went to Maine in June.  Mr. Brown's family was having a family reunion there and we were excited to visit!

On the way out we stopped in Kirtland, Niagara Falls, Hill Cumorah and the Sacred Grove.  Also we stopped in Albany NY at a cool graveyard.  Here lies Chester A. Arthur.  We were listening to the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, so it was a good place to get out for a bit.

When we got to Maine, there was a moose to greet us.

One day we played miniature golf with pirates.

while Bobo slept

but eventually he woke up and he and I played a round together.

Happy pirating for all!

The rest of this post is largely a photo dump of all the rocky beaches we hung out at, because basically what we did was go to the beach, over and over, and climb on the rocks and dig in the sand and pick up shells.  It was a lot of fun.

The water was much too cold for most of us, but Rose Pink enjoyed wading.

Also we got to walk on the bottom of the ocean when the tide went out- we walked across the bay to an island.  Very cool.

A bear bid us goodbye as we left Maine.

The trip home was just driving, for two straight days. 

We saw a lot of neat stuff and did a lot of fun things!
