Escape

The high temps earlier this week led to a brief escape to Maine. We squeezed an entire summer's worth of fun into a few short days and I'm ready to go back.

I am sorry to say that I forgot my camera! So all I have are a few lousy iPhone shots.

This one is my favorite.

We stopped at the beach after lunch and a movie in town. At 5pm It was still so hot and steamy. I love the beach on a late summer afternoon. The tide was the lowest I've ever seen. My girls crossed to the sand bar together while I witnessed this momentous rite-of-passage from the shore. I did end up having to fetch my little one...she didn't like the muck. Nor do I.

It seems like they grow so much on trips like these. Why is that?
