Baby's First Prom (Emma's Version)

 The next day it was Emma's turn to go to the prom. We travled up to Freeport Maine so that she could accompanny Garrett (a friend of hers from Pilgrim Lodge) to his prom. 

And yes, they were watching Bluey! 

I just adore this picture of her! 

We had bracelets made for both girls for the prom. 

When in Freeport you must take your prom pictures at the LL Bean flagship store! 

Woo hoo! We got Garrett to smile! 

Such a great picture of these two!

This Weekend In Maine

On Saturday we picked the girls up from their first week at PL and spent the next 36 hours in Freeport before brining them back to PL for their second week there. While we were in Freeport my dear friend and soul sister Jannine and her family (who live up in Maine) joined us for swimming, dinner and ice cream. Jannine and I have been the best of friends since we were sixteen years old and it was a dream come true to be able to have all our girls meet this past weekend as well)! It was as if these four have grown up together! 

On Sunday, we had some time to pass before bringing the girls back to Pilgrim Lodge. As luck would have it LL Bean was holding a 10th birthday celebration for the bootmobile! We enjoyed cupcakes, whoppie pies, pinewood derby races (LL Bean style) some bubbles and some free gifts from the Wyman's berry truck (ex: super cool Maine themed playing cards). 

After a lunch of lobster rolls it was time to bring the girls back to PL. Harry Potter shirs on and they were ready to begin their final week there (Harry Potter theme week)! 

We can't wait to hear all about it! xo 

Pick-Up Day!

And now back to catching up on pictures I never shared!

 Happy to be reunited with my babies at the end of their week at Pilgrim Lodge! They had a blast (though Grace did say she was homesick for the first time this year). 

 On our way home we stopped in Freeport for doughnuts ("It's our tradition, mama!") and to stop by LL Bean and the other shops there. 

 We absolutely loved this tea cup at the British Goods shop in Freeport. We sadly didn't come home with it but we did buy some British chocolate (yum!) which is better than American chocolate. 

After we had walked around, window shopped, and had lobster rolls for lunch we continued out journey back home. It didn't take long before both girls were asleep. They slept the whole way back and then for thirteen hours that night! The sign of a good week, indeed! xo

On Our Way Home From Pilgrim Lodge...

We stooped in Freeport for lobster rolls (at Linda Bean's), a bit of exploring and "create your own doughnuts" at Frosty's. It was the perfect ending to their amazing week away! xo
