Cliff Island and other adventures

Okay...what had the kids very excited at the beginning has slowly faded to the background. I am speaking of course about the blog...We had a lovely time on Cliff Island. The house we rented this year was especially great because we could bring Bailey. Samantha spent the first part of the time, fishing. She made some fishing buddies who got her rigged up just right. Unfortunately...not right enough for the mackeral to bite...but that did not prevent her from casting at least 1,000 times.

The girls road bikes everywhere and met most visitors to the island. They both became expert wake jumpers..(jumping off the dock into the wake of the ferry to get washed towards a float) This may not seem like a big deal however the water is about 58 degrees and at low tide the span from water to dock is about 20 or more feet.

Mostly, they made new friends, spent some time with old friends and played without interruption or a care in the world for 4 days. No technology, tv, phone service. The only schedule was the low hum of the lobster boats in the morning to wake us up and the ferry schedule to call us down to the dock to see who was coming in. Brilliant.
