Lobster boat races

Sam and Courtney were hosted on Friday and Saturday night by their two wonderful aunties, but on Sunday it was time to return to the dreaded Camp Arrowsic. Papa thought it would be fun to meet for the exchange at the lobster boat races at 10 AM in Harpswell. Great idea, Papa! It rained and rained. Can you see the racing lobster boats in the picture to the left? No? Well, neither could we. At 11:40 there were finally a couple of races, not too exciting to soaked spectators. However, the tide was out and the kids played a bit on the exposed strand. Jonas, Coco, and Owen had fun throwing sand and rocks into tide pools. When it was time to go (at last!), I told the three throwers that the adults were leaving, and that they could stay for three hours and we would return to pick them up. Owen immediately climbed back to the adults, as did Courtney, who said, "Jonas, you can't stay here. There won't be anyone to watch us!" To which Jonas replied, climbing instantly to the top of the Wicked Children Chart, "That's awesome!"
