Peak's Island

We had a wonderful weekend in Maine.   Before we headed back home to Massachusetts, we decided to make the most of our day in Maine.   After eating breakfast and attending church, we piled into the car and took a ferry ride over to Peak's Island.   One of the many islands off the coast of Maine.   The Madoreables loved being inside of a car on a boat.

Halloween 2015

This year for Halloween, we celebrated up in Maine and trick or treated with some of our nieces.   Very low key, and very fun.  The weather was absolutely perfect.

Samantha and Sarah decided they wanted to be Harry Potter.  And Miss Gabrielle?   Well, we thought she would look bee-utiful as a bee.

So if the girls were Harry Potter, does this mean Gabrielle played the part of "Bumble-dore"?

Summer Vacation 2015 - Part 5

Today was our last day in Maine.  We've had such a great time that it will be difficult to head home.  We had wonderful weather the entire time and had a great time spending time with Jeremy's family.

Goodbye Maine!

Finally home!

(Jeremy's allergies finally caught up with us)

Summer Vacation 2015 - Part 3

The fun can only continue.   We kept today wide open with zero plans so we could just do whatever we wanted as a family.   Seeing that it was a beautiful and sunny day, we decided to head to the lake.  Some of the Madore'ables aunts and uncles joined us, and the girls loved holding their brand new baby cousin who is just a few weeks old!

Gabrielle loved playing the role of "Beach Baby"

Summer Vacation 2015 - Part 2

Today we celebrated our nephew's birthday as well as the baptism of his baby brother: our God son.   We were so blessed to be able to be part of the day and of course the girls loved playing with all of their cousins.

I love them.

Summer Vacation 2015 - Part 1

This year, we decided to do our family Summer vacation in Maine.  It's a great place to be seeing that's where Jeremy's family is from.  It's a huge state with beautiful scenic landscapes and honestly not that far away.  So we decided to make the most of it.

We started off our vacation trip with a phone call before we left our house from Jeremy's father saying that his father's truck broke down on the side of the highway.   So, we stopped by on the way up the Maine Turnpike and waited with him for a little bit while we waited for a tow truck.

We finally made it to our hotel and of course the girls loved the transportation that the hotel provided for us...

Gabrielle loved the fact that she had her own bed!
