So we jumped on that band wagon.  Went and got one of them there fancy pellet stoves.  Time will tell but were hoping for the best.  I haven’t heard a bad thing about them.  Barring the occasional “It’s quite dirty”; but these folks obviously never ran a wood stove before.  We’ll keep you posted.  

A walk in the park for sure.  Jess went to Boston, so we drove to Baxter to get a small hike in.  We trekked ~6.5 miles and paddled a bit.  We also checked out some spots in the park I’d never been.  A very relaxing day.  Photos.

Take me out to the ball game!  Tony and Sherry and the boys called in some tickets and we caravaned down to Portland to watch a late game.  We were home by 1AM and Nathan was able to get a ball autographed. Photos

We were visiting friends in Hope, ME and decided to catch a few sites before heading home.  We toured the Transportation Museum and Lighthouse and Nathan and I walked the Breakwater of Rockland. Photos.  

Nathan and I hiked Mt Battie in Camden while visiting with friends in that area.  Here are some photos.  

Nathan helped out with a project at Matts.  We helped Matt rip his old porch on so he could add a new deck.  Here Nathan gets to drive the wheeler and trailer. (660 Grizzly!)  He has some trouble with the steering at first, but worked that out.  

It was a long season.. but it finally came to a close. Charleston went 14-1, losing the last game in the championship.. a tough one to lose for sure.  Photos of Nathan during the season and in his NYY outfit we gave him after the season ended.

We snuck away to Searsport for a family day.  Things we did: Picnic at Moose Point State Park Searsport Marine Museam Biking on Sears Island Fort Knox Penobscot Narrows Observation Deck Photos here.

We learned a bit about lobstering in Maine on this trip.  They only pulled one trap, but thats all it took.  We also saw some seals.  The day was fairly full.. Picnic in the park (Bar Harbor) Mini-golf Boat cruise and suppah at the Log Cabin! Photos. Video. (a must see!)
