Our Trip To Baxter State Park





We drove to Millinocket Maine over the Memorial Day weekend, and took Ollie with us. That seemed like a really good idea. Knowing that dogs couldn't go into the park itself..we figured that we would run him and let him swim and then leave him in the well ventilated car. However ,we were told at the gate that dogs (even staying in cars) would not be allowed in. As it turns out...in East Millinocket there is a doggy daycare that features a caribbean theme playroom with a couch, air conditioning, lots of toys, and a t.v. showing non stop animal planet. For anyone who has ever visited this remote part of Maine...you will understand why this seemed a VERY unusual find. Other than some fierce black flies, we saw moose and had a great time. During the evenings in our hotel, Marissa even became a pretty good pool player in a short amount of time. However, Ping Pong???? Uhh... still a ways to go .

Nap Time



Yes...I'm pretty sure that Burt loves his life here with all of the animals in this house. He enjoys that "lone" time especially. Good times when he can be all by himself and just rest.

My Sister Turns Sixty????? Mother Of God!!!



Joan turned Sixty this past sunday.Yikes. If you look carefully , in the background you can see what looks like Michelle shedding a tear or two.Probably the emotion of the whole event just got to her. Joan is looking at a book that Emily assembled containing photos and messages from everyone.

Marissa's Ballet Recital




Marissa greets Ollie after her ballet recital. Marrissa was part of a caribou herd. Her role was especially exciting, as she was the member of the herd that met an untimely ( but extremely cool) death and was carried off stage.
