So for some reason I couldn't write under all the pictures. Sometimes this blog can be so annoying. The first series of pictures was the first weekend of vacation, the guys went deep sea fishing and we waited at the camp, stuck in the trailer because it decided to pour rain all day. I made my clam chowder, corn bread, beans, and cole slaw. When the guys got home I cooked the fresh caught fish with a Ritz cracker topping. It was delicious!

On Tuesday we went to the movies and saw Eclipse. On Wednesday our friends from Bedford came up for the day and we went to see the Sound of Music at the Ogunquit Playhouse, it was very good. We had dinner after at the Union Bluff hotel in Short Sands and then walked around the shops.

On Thursday we went to Perkins Cove and walked the Marginal Way over to Ogunquit. We had lunch at Huckleberry's down on Ogunquit Beach, then looked in the shops for a while. Rode the trolley back to Perkin's Cove and had some ice cream. I ate a lot of ice cream this week!

On Thursday night Brooke's boyfriend Pat came up for the weekend. We went to play bingo at the fire station down town. And then made a 10 PM pizza run to Dominoes after!!

Friday night we went to Newick's in Dover for dinner, celebrating Brooke's passing of the Hesi exam. Nicole and Kali met us there and we had a good dinner. I had my clam strips that I have been craving! We played Bingo at the campground after. I still didn't win anything but gary did.

Saturday morning Gary and I went out yard saling at 8. I got a couple of books and a few things for Kali, some toys to have here at the camp, some books and some DVD's. At 11:30 we went to Water Country, the girls and Pat were already there. It was not a good idea, it was REALLY hot and humid, it was absolutely mobbed, and it was not a very good place for a 10 month old. But we had already bought the tickets and did not want to waste what we paid.

The lines were so long I only got to go in the wave pool, in the Lazy River, and on the Family raft ride. We had to keep switching off to watch Kali, the only pool she could go in without a life jacket was a kiddie pool that had a rough bottom that kind of cut her toes up. Not impressed with that. It would have been nice if Nicole or any of us could have sat at the edge of the wave pool where the water barely laps over you, but they are real strict about the life jackets, which I guess is a good thing. We stuck it out till 4, then came home and grilled burgers and dogs and had a campfire. And that is it, Gary's first vacation week is all over, tomorrow he is back to work.
