A Busy Day In Maine

Nicholas is having such a great time in Maine - who wouldn't? It has been beautiful up here - and surprisingly warm for April. In fact, the cottage wasn't even open at this time last year.

We had a very busy day today. We went to the beach! It was low tide, and we were able to walk along the shore and find lots of shells. Nicholas saw 3 horses walking on the beach, and even got to play with a couple of very friendly border collies for a while. He loved the sand - it was nice and warm, and he sat right down in it.

We also went out for lunch - fried clams and chowder - yummy! Nicholas had a grilled cheese. We also went to this great ice cream place where they have a life-sized chocolate moose (get it?). It was a big hit with Nicholas - he kept holding out his spoon trying to feed the moose - it was so darned cute. Of course, I left my camera in the car...

Nicholas also got some new shoes today. They're SO adorable, but hard to take a picture of- considering how he won't stay still long enough for me to get a decent picture! Size 7 already - he's just getting so big.

Headed home tomorrow. Can't wait for summer vacation!
