Well, we've been lucky up until this trip. This was the first time we have had to deal with flight delays and cancellations as parents. Not fun! It will be quite a while before this family flies the friendly skies again.
But the trip was fun. Noelle got to see Grammie and her aunts and cousins. We had beautiful weather, for the most part. I got pretty red just sitting out on the deck for a morning. It's a nice tan, now, though!
It was a really nice time and we were happy to be able to see everyone. Julie and Emily came all the way out from Vermont. Uncle Ernie came down from Bass Harbor to treat us all to lunch. We talked to Gram Helen on the phone a couple of times. It was great to catch up with all the relatives.

We usually make the trip around Thanksgiving or Christmas, so it was great to be able to visit while all the beach shops and amusement park/zoo were open. Noelle and her cousin, Emily, had a blast at the zoo. They got to pet a snake and ride on an elephant. Noelle spent some time playing at her cousin, Charlie's, house. She thinks he's got some really cool outdoor toys.

I think we dragged the camera out about halfway through the trip. Isn't that awful? So here are a few of the pictures we did manage to get.
Noelle beat out Grammie right until the last frame... where they ended up in a tie. Too funny!
Noelle and Grammie on the last day of our visit. Noelle has been talking nonstop about her since.
Charlie had to be bribed to sit this close to his cousin. You should have seen him when she gave him a goodbye kiss and a hug. ;)
Julie, Emily and Noelle got to ride an elephant at the zoo. They wouldn't let me get too close so this was the best picture I could get.
The girls bought some food for the goats. These guys weren't as greedy as the deer, who would knock your hand away from the food dispenser and help themselves once the money was paid.
This was a play-'til-you-win game. We were here for a while...
Sorry I cut your head off a little, Em! The girls had so much fun hanging out together.
