June 2013

Welcome to June!  We went on Father/Son Campout again...

...and took our friend Eric again.  It was beautiful weather and perfect for swimming, canoeing, and cooking food on the fire!

In June we had a family memorial service for GG's brother Timothy, a fisherman from Gloucester. 6/8/2013

June is when school lets out, right?

Congratulations Hannah, on finishing your first major hurdle to adulthood!  We're so proud. 6/9/2013

During the middle of June, we did some early summer sorts of things.   You know, splash in puddles, play in the sprinklers, and laze around the house chewing on things.  It was a good end-of-school and welcome-to-summer transition month.

Once school was officially out, we went to Maine for a little relaxing weekend.  Ian and I went fishing with Papa and saw some neat wildlife.  No fish, though. 6/29/2013

 

Worthy of note:  Grammy got 6 new chicks this spring to bring her flock to 18... er 17.  The boys are getting more confident with the little birds, we'll see how they do when they are full-fledged hens!

We saw this amphibious car, which I thought was really neat.   Some people use them to get to the closeby inhabited islands off the coast of Maine and Cape Cod.

And last, but  not least... the pigs are getting better.  There necks are thickening, their grunts are more meaty, and their mouths are big enough to hold a rotund apple.  :)
