Summer in Maine

We have spent most of our free time this summer up in Maine visiting with Kristen and Cousin Gabby when they come up from Florida. The girls are at the perfect age for the beach- they love to run around the sand, build and smash castles, look for snails and crabs and play in the tidepools. Here are some pictures of the fun they have had this summer so far (please, it can't really be almost over, right?)


Dancing around the house above on a rainy day. And below pointing out something on the beach to each other that must have been very interesting for us to get a picture with both of them looking at the same thing! Kelsey and Gabby have many matching outfits courtesy of the three grandmothers, and when Kristen and I brought them out this summer we were actually asked if they were twins- though we have to assume the person was kidding. 
The bibs here say it all- "If Mommy says no, ask Grandma"! Both girls have Gigi under their thumb when it comes to extra snacks, treats and little things.  They have fun with her in Maine.

Kelsey is quite the fish! She loves the pool that we put out on the deck for the days when it is too cold to go and swim in the ocean.
Hooray! We are going to the playground! Both girls love to go there and play on the swings and slides.  We go almost every day!

Castles that the girls built (and later enjoyed very much smashing!)
