June

This morning we woke up to a beach weather kind of day and decided that's just where we wanted to be. So we packed up and went to beautiful Popham Beach. Sam did a lot of running, splashing and digging, and at one point exclaimed, "Fun at the Beach!", which verified our hunch. Following are a few photos of said fun...

After a nap in the car the fun continued in our back yard where Sam spent the rest of the afternoon naked and happy.

May

Here are a few snaps from May!

Sam & Gordie have joined the VFD and are in charge of keeping Engine No.1 clean and ready for action. Here Gordie gives it a sponge bath. (Sam meant to help but was more interested in dumping the water out of the bucket!)

"Come out and play, Mormor!"

Sam and his girlfriend, Sylvie. Sylvie took care of Sam this year and has just graduated from Bowdoin. The two were pretty nuts about each other so it was a sad parting. Luckily Sylvie will be in Maine awhile so we'll hope to see her again soon. For now we have this photo on our fridge and Sam often requests, "want to look at Sam & Sylvie!"

Kevin's latest endeavor has been setting up a slackline in the backyard. "Let's do some slacklinin'!'" is now a common refrain from Sam.

Slacklining has been a good antidote to the Apogee pre-season build up. Life is all about balance, right?! :)

Sam and Mommy go for a ride in Mr. Gilly's big red truck. What could be more fun?!
