Our Maine Adventures

*I blogged our entire Maine vacation, so you will need to click older posts at the bottom to see the last couple of days

My brother Ben and his wife Katie have lived in Maine for two years now and only my mom has been to visit them. We decided earlier this year that in June all of the siblings and whoever else could make it would spend a week in their home together. We all made it happen (my siblings and I live in 4 different states between the five of us) and had a fabulous week together!

Airplane ride (I'm trying to block it out of my memory otherwise I may never fly anywhere again) actually, it wasn't too bad. I could type a whole other post on what I learned from flying with two children, but overall they were troopers and we survived.

Our home away from home for the week

3AM and all five kids are together at last! It was so surreal, that we just couldn't make ourselves go to bed. The 5sibs (from left): Jared, then Bridgette is my brother's fiancé, Stephen, Courtney, Nicole, and Ben is taking the picture

What a great adventure! And such a beautiful place to explore with the whole family gathered! I do want to hear more about your airplane adventures- that feat alone may have scared me from going altogether :) Survival is the only requirement, right!?!

Love all the photos and stories!
