Kate and Nick

Kate and Nick just made a visit to our neck of the woods for a few days. We had a great time. One of the days we decided to have ice cream for lunch. Everyone enjoyed the Vermonster.

Nick is really excited to get started on this. Everything you see on top is just sprinkles on top of one and a half inches of whip cream.

Here is the mangled mess of ice cream, brownies, bananas, cookies, hot fudge, caramel, walnuts, almonds, oreos, reeses pieces, and whip cream. This is when it gets really good, when the ice cream is melting and everything just mixes together. We highly recommend this if you ever get the chance.

We were unable to finish off the Vermonster the last time we tried, but this time we had a secret weapon, my sister Amy. Amy made sure that, while Nick and I were sitting there stuffed with ice cream, every last drop was gone.

(Lizzy was sick so she had the sad eyes)

Waiting. . .

I wish doctors wouldn't say things like, "She could come any day," and "I'll be surprised if you make it to your next appointment."

I've heard both.

Highlights (Part 2)

. . . and we return.

We went back to Sand Beach on a warmer afternoon.

Lizzy was thrilled with the sand!

Dallin and Lizzy braving the cold waves.

Sunset on the Harbor.

We took a boat tour on Lulu's Lobster Boat.

This is Captain John, holding a fresh lobster.

He knew all sorts of interesting lobster and non-lobster facts.

It got foggy, but Lulu was able to get close enough to see the lighthouse.

And the white spots on the rocks are seals.

The sleeping kiddos, Lizzy and Annie.

Between Dramamine and the boat rocking, Lizzy had no hope.

The end of our trip was full of fog.

Dallin on the rocks at Bass Harbor.

This is a natural sea wall. Beautiful, but I almost didn't make it.

There were millions of spiders in the rocks, big ones.

I am apparently more arachnophobic than I thought.

The end.
