The best part, as corny as it sounds, was just seeing Callum and Maira play so well with Jake and Meg. Even though Jake and Meg are a little older than Callum and Maira, the four of them played so marvelously. It was just great to watch. And Amanda and I got to spend some great time visiting with Kate and Tom (and Teddy too)
We spent the afternoon paddleboating, paddleBOARDING, playing Magic the Gathering (Amanda and Jake), talking about books (Jake and I), and sampling fantastic beers (Tom and I). Also, I peer pressured Katie into running a 5K...haha
Callum and Jake spent a good part of the afternoon on the paddleboat. With Teddy, too, who loves boats. Can you see him in the middle. Callum, usually apprehensive about trying ANYTHING new, jumped right in with Jake and never looked back. Literally.....
Meg thinks about getting ready to paddleboard, and Callum and Jake continue paddling. As a sidenote, Indian Pond *used to be* a river...and then, a long long time ago during the great log driving days of Maine's lumbering industry, they dammed a big part of the river so more logs could be 'driven' (or floated) down to mills, etc. Indian Pond is the result of this damming. Thus, on the bottom of the lake, there are SO many old, waterlogged trees, etc. Very cool!
Katie and her "littlest girlfriend" Maira hang out. Katie used to watch Maira when Maira was a little little baby...and she gave her the nickname then. Maira, ever the diva, didnt want to swim or kayak. She wanted to eat chips and play with the Dora Dollhouse....
a shot of the camp...a really great place. Inside has a ton of charm as well, and contains my favorite part of the whole place--an old Atlantic wood-cookstove!
I love the way lakes appear as evening approaches; you can almost feel the stillness as you look at this photo. The water is glass. Everything is calm. You can see and hear fish jumping a hundred yards away as the sun goes down. A beautiful evening.....
And a group shot!!
