We went out on our first official hike of the season. We usually go on walks in the woods and along the shore around our home, but I think Madie is pretty bored of that. Mark my words, when these kids move away from this island they will look back with regret for not wanting to take advantage of the ocean walks we take for granted! Madie does, however, love to hike. She loves to hike mountains and climb rocks. She proclaimed that her favorite is South Bubble in Acadia, which is what we did today.
Finn climbed the last portion of it on his own, and couldn't get enough of scrambling on the rocks. He wasn't really following directions on our way back down, so we had to put him back into the backpack. He threw quite the tantrum after that that involved hitting the back of my head and trying to take my hat off. I let him run the last 100 yards of the trail to the parking lot and he was pretty happy after that.
We are excited for summer. We just got a new family tent, we all have camping gear, and are ready to explore what Maine has to offer.

thanks for the baby bump photo there mal!
Haha, yeah, that second one looks like a Miss Concepcion pic, with the shirt barely covering the belly! But actually it's a white shirt underneath--that's how white my skin is. It compares with my white shirts.
I love the pic of the kids on top--it's frame-worthy!
