Selina and Peanut

By now you should have been introduced to Elina, the Jellycat Bashful Bunny that Henry's ex-girlfriend gave him. Now meet Selina, the pink version of Elina, a gift from the ex-girlfriend to M.

Geo named her Selina, short for sunburned Elina. She had to borrow Elina's dress while waiting for her own dress to arrive.

Meanwhile, when H was in England he found a Jellycat shop in a department store and bought a new penguin for M named Peanut.

Geo promptly kidnapped Peanut and took him to visit Grandma and Papa.

M is not sure she will ever see him again, since the boys seem to think he is edible.

Driving Miss Crazy

Geo got his permit on his 15th birthday and has had two driving lessons with M and D. Watch out, student driver on the road!

Walter

Henry spent a week on an archaeological dig in England (his graduation present). He met the locals, including a sweet cat named Walter.

Our week toodling around New England came to an end, so we headed back to NEC to watch Geo's final concert. Then it was time to head home to our landlocked state. At least we caught some (illegal) fireworks on our drive home.

Maine trip report - Day 6

We had a long drive from Brunswick to Boston, so we decided that the best way to get there would be to go through Williamstown. We replaced Sharky Josh's Gettysburg hoodie with a Williams hoodie. We had dinner at the Water Street Grill before making our way to Boston.

Is Josh smart enough to go here?

Maine trip report - Day 5

It was time to start wending our way to Boston. This was mostly a travel day. We detoured to visit Fort George because that's a weird nickname that R and H call Geo.

We ended the day at LL Bean in Freeport, which is in temporary quarters while they build a new mother ship.

Maine trip report - Day 4

Acadia has been on M's bucket list forever, and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation to drive up Cadillac Mountain. We scoffed at how sad the elevations are around here (living in Colorado makes us elevation snobs), but the views were epic.
