Christmas Cove, ME

We had a great girls weekend in Christmas Cove, Maine! Sophia, Hannah, Gramma, Dot, Christine and I had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend away. Unfortunately, we found out that Hannah is not a car trip baby- she cried for most of the time that she was in the car on the drive up on Friday and again on the drive home Sunday. :( Thanks Auntie Christine for enduing the crying to keep me company in the car.
Sophia is going through a "don't take my picture" phase, so she has her head down to hide her face.
Dinner on the way home Sunday- Sophia had her first taste of lobster and loved it! She loved dipping it in butter so much that she tried to dip her french fries in butter also (we didn't let her)!
enjoying a lovely walk to a little beach.
Sophia was a little unsure of the sand when we first go to the beach. Gramma and Dot soon convinced her to explore.
The first thing Sophia did when we got to the beach was to find a rock to sit on and see what was in her bag. She of course found her snack- gotta fuel up for a good wade in the ocean!

looking for treasures in the sand- Sophia ended up with pockets full of rocks
Sophia and Gramma wading in the ocean. It was freezing cold but every time Gramma tried to turn Sophia away from the water she wanted to go back in.

Sophia's art lesson with Dot- I have very fond memories of art lessons from Dot when I was little and so it was extra special to see Sophia enjoying drawing with Dot and talking about colors!
Happy Hannah

Hannah spit up a lot, and since Christine only had one pair of comfortable pants packed, she had an extra protection drop cloth while holding her.
