Post-Thanksgiving Walk
Thanksgiving was great this year - all four of our parents were there, making it one of those wonderful moments in time that I fondly look back upon. After having a gigantic (and delicious) Thanksgiving meal the entire crew went on a walk. It was brisk but pleasant.
Here's Libby walking with her two "Papas" - love the long shadows:

The Cousins
Annual picture of all the cousins:

Each year since 2007 we have taken the same picture with all the cousins. It's amazing to watch the group (and individuals) grow:
- 2011: Calvin, Micah, Asher, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Cooper, Libby
- 2010:Calvin, Micah, Asher, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Libby
- 2009: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Kaia, Libby
- 2008: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Libby
- 2007: Calvin, Micah, Sam, Emma, Libby
East Coast Trip: Golfing
We had our annual early morning Maine golf day (2010, 2009). It was foggy and fun:
- It was very foggy for the first two hours of play
- Usually you can see the ocean and an island, but it was all fog
- Dan and Will practicing their swings
- Dan, Will, Jack, Tim, and Me
East Coast Trip: Talking and Eating
My favorite part of our Maine trips, by far, is the time we spend eating and talking. There is nothing better than sitting around with family and shooting the breeze while munching on goodies:
- Breakfast time with bright sun through the windows
- Making s'mores on a grill (second time this trip!)
- Liby still loving the s'mores
- The kids get their own eating time since there are so many of them
- Night time chatting with everybody
- Relaxing in Will and Shelley's cabin after grilling out
East Coast Trip: Coastal Exploring
A lot of the fun to be found in Maine is along the shore. Tidal pools, piles of seaweed, big rocks, and lots a small sea creatures make for a great environment for adults and kids alike to explore:
- Shannon and Libby next to a tidal pool
- A happy couple, on the rocks
- Gorgeous clear day with sunshine through the trees
- One of many baby crabs that we found among the rocks and seaweed
- Libby showing off her periwinkle collection
- Cooper, our Maine Man
