Up close at five

Riparian respite

Field trip to the Wire Bridge in North New Portland this afternoon:

Lots of jumping, sand castle building, acorn collecting, and a good measure of running. The Carrabassett is chilly, even for cleaning sand off your hands.

The girls have celebrated their fifth birthday no less than three times this past week, perhaps setting a dangerous precedent for the future. Today's celebration with friends wrapped up events with a grogeous afternoon outside to play in the leaves. Running, sliding, leaf-throwing, and cake-easting were enjoyed by every one of the partygoers, parents included. We couldn't have asked for more!

Street gangs were seen roaming in Farmington last night... (Bridget on the far left, Moriah on the mid-right).
