The simple life

Anna and I had the great pleasure of joining our Uncle Pat and his family for a week and 1/2-ish on a farm in Maine.  Definitely a very different experience but completely wonderful. 

Tide Mill Organic Farm is the name and it's located in Edmunds, Maine...a very northeastern region of the state.   The farm is surrounded by hundreds of acres of trees, water, and more trees.  

Our days were filled with visiting and milking cows, playing with pigs, watching Anna gag from looking at the chickens, holding chicks, sea kayaking, hiking, making fun of the llama who hated us, etc.  Lots of fun and only confirmed that the hobby farm I've always wanted will happen someday.

We also had the opportunity to spend some time on Campobello (Campbell in Italian?) Island and Deer Island which is part of New Brunswick Canada.  Also spent a day in Acadia Nat. Park--very neat.  Unfortunately Anna and I left our camera at my uncle and aunt's house in Boston so when I get that back later in the week I'll post pictures and some pretty hilarious stories to go along with them.  

Stay tuned.

*heads up:  Anna falls out of a kayak and panics beyond belief in an upcoming story.
