Looking Around Maine

There is so much around here to do in the state of Maine in the United States!  It's a good size state, compared to others, especially in New England, but what makes it so unique is that if you travel from one side to the next, it's like you are in another world!  The shore line is all about the ocean, lobsters, and lighthouses.  Inland, it's all mountains, lakes, Moose, hunting and camping.  In the Winter months, skiing and ice fishing is big here!  In the fall, the hunters come out to capture their prized deer, bear, or wild turkey!  Fishing and lobsters are the big catches from the ocean during the Summer!  There is so much to see and do!  


Our host mom conveniently carries us in a mesh pocket on the side of her bag to make sure we don't miss anything!  



Acadia National Park is one place that if you visit Maine you should see - it' s BEAUTIFUL any time of the year......but Summer and Fall are our Host Family's pick for the best times!  It's home to the tallest Mountain on the US Atlantic Coast and a definite treasure not to be missed.


Here are some pictures of the park so you can see how much appreciated beauty Acadia National Park holds.....

New Addiction!

Hi Mom!  We thought we would let you know that we have a new addiction.... Words With Friends!  Our host mom, Michele, showed us how to play the word game, which is very much like Scrabble, on her iPad.  Well, we really like it and are doing real well!  We are also learning new words!  LOL!  



Just wanted to say "Hi" and let you know we are happy, safe, and love you!  

We will try not to stay up TOO late playing!

Disney's "BRAVE"

Hey Mom!  Today we went to this real cool movie theater here in Maine called Smitty's Cinemas!  What makes this movie theater different from the typical one you find here in the US is that the seating isn't in rows in front of a big screen, but actual large tables with big, comfy chairs around them!  "Why," you may ask?  Well, they serve food and drink to you while you watch the movie!  There is a full menu of burgers, fries, pizza, and even salads for the ones who want to eat a bit healthier....not us though!  Ha ha!


We went to see the latest Disney Pixar film called "Brave"!  It was real good!  Mom and Dad brought their little friend Bridgit too - she was cute and fun!  This was her first time going to see a movie in a big movie theater!  She is three years old and had just as much fun as we did!
