Summer 2013 Recap

Sadly, another summer is over too soon.  But we did a lot of fun things while it lasted!

We went to Martha's Vineyard with our friends Sonja and Lev over Memorial Day weekend, and while it was rainy and cold, we did still make it to all the lighthouses on the Island - and hung out with alpacas.


For our first wedding anniversary, we spent a weekend up in Brunswick, Maine, where we visited antique stores, dropped a Geocache down a hole, and ate lots of good food.

We spent the long weekend for Fourth of July up at the lake, where it was HOT.

We had varying degrees of success with our first attempt at a garden...

...connected with the neighbors.... 

...and settled in to a routine during the workday.

Matt's sister got married...

...and we spent the weekend of my 30th birthday doing fun things like going to a 19th century museum village...

 ...seeing Clay Aiken star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Ogunquit Playhouse, and having lobster.

We had our first experience at the Acton Fair, where more alpacas made faces at us...

...and a one-horned baby goat tried to bite Matt... 

...Sonja and I got brave and ate moonshine-soaked cherries...

...I introduced our friends to farm-fresh eggs...

...and Sonja got bored and cleared a trail down to the stream.  This is why we like her: if you leave her alone for long enough, she'll start doing work.

So that was our first summer in Maine!
