Our last day in Maine (finally!)

On our last day with the coolest family in New England, we got up and drove down to Freeport (I think that's what it's called...) They have LOTS of shopping, so naturally, I was excited! Before we got to the shops, though, we went to lunch at a really unique McDonald's. It is located inside a historical landmark- an old home. Food tasted the same, but the ambiance was kind of neat! (Gracie was a little bummed out with no playground, but still enjoyed the fries and nuggets!) The flagship LL Bean store was the COOLEST! I am a big fan! They have quality items with a great lifetime guarantee. You can't do better than that! Here is the gang (minus Christine) in front of the store. Right after this shot, it started pouring rain.
Everybody got a backpack for school!

Ted got a little something extra with his!


Noah is ready for the bell to ring!

Harrison enjoyed hanging out in the camping section

Gracie and Sophie checking out the fish pond
We went into some cool local shops like the Mangy Moose and visited some outlets like The Northface and Children's Place where we spent lots of money! When we got back to the house, we ,of course, relaxed on the porch and enjoyed a delicious lasagna and bread cooked to perfection by Christine. It was a wonderful way to spend the week- with good friends- in a beautiful place- doing fun things with our amazing blessings we call children! I am so thankful our girls (and GOD) brought our families together! Don't forget to check out Christine's version of our last day's events! Thanks again to our Maine Friends for an awesome trip- even with our unplanned detour the first night!)
