Today In Maine

With Grace and August having graduated and now having finished their final week ever as campers at PL it's the end of an eara for this crew. They were the first group from Plymouth Church to go to camp eight years ago, so it's very fitting that they wrapped this adventure up together this past week at Senior High Week. 

Grace and some of her camp friends. 

Grace has long wanted to make a grace (blessing) banner and she was so excited that that wish came true this past week! 

Orignally, Grace was supposed to stay next week to serve as a youth advisor for Justice Camp, but with how perfectly Senior High Week ended (and felt like closure for her) and having already been away for two weeks she decided she wanted to come home instead. Since we already had the hotel room in Freeport (and could not get out of it) we decided to have our girls weekend anyway! 

Next stop: The (little) Lost Kitchen! 

Grace and I loved our lunch there so much the Saturday before that we had to bring Emma back to experience the deliciousness. 

We had the fried chicken for lunch and then the butter cake for dessert. Absolute perfection! 

After that it was off to The Desert of Maine. Dave and I went last year and loved it and we knew the girls would too (and they did)! 

After that it was time to head over to our home away from home (the Hilton Garden Inn-Downtown Freeport) to continue our girls weekend with pizza and ice cream and some serious relaxing at the hotel! xo

The Desert In Maine And Other Early June Moments

 

While the girls were at CIT training at Pilgrim Lodge, Dave and I had some time togher just us. After we dropped them off we decided to explore the Desert in MaineDesert in Maine (and yes, it really is a desert in Maine)! 

Dave and the hermit. 

A little bit of how the Desert of Maine Desert of Maine came to be. 

Back at home, Violet decided she needed a bit of a recharge! 

The hens are at max production level. We are getting six eggs every day and as a result our counter is overflowing with them! 

And finally, a little about me thanks to the latest Instagram trend. xo
