Acadia Camping Trip

With the 70-degree weather, we couldn't resist dragging out the camper and heading out for the weekend. We drove to Acadia National Park on Saturday morning and found a nice site at Blackwoods campground. We wouldn't really consider camping in Acadia during the summer so it was nice to take advantage of the early summer-like days and spend some time in the park.


After getting camp set up and having lunch, we hiked Day Mountain. We spent a long time hanging around at the summit, laying on the rocks, having water and snacks and enjoying the bright sunshine.



Avery enjoyed riding his bike on a closed portion of the campground road and Paige spent a lot of time walking around the campsite exploring.









On Sunday, we drove to Bass Harbor Head Light and in the afternoon, Jason and Avery did some "scaling" on the cliffs along the ocean near the campground.

We posted some more pictures of our trip here. It was definitely nice to get out and do some camping so early in the year, and we're already looking forward to our next trip.

Superhero / Princess Day


It is a crazy "week of the young child" at school for Avery this week. Today was Superhero/Princess day. Avery was decked out as Batman in his favorite Batman t-shirt and a cape that Jen sewed for him out of some scrap fabric last night. Tomorrow is sports team day and Avery is planning to get dressed up in his Jacksonville Jaguars attire.
