Summer..Finally!

Now that summer is back from it's four week hiatus, we can finally enjoy the outdoors. This Sunday we took a bike ride along the carriage trails.

Afterwards, we took our new (new to us, anyway) 4-Runner up Cadillac Mt. to overlook Bar Harbor.
And before the sun could go down completely, we hiked into Anemone Cave, a cave that is no longer advertised to the public (you have to be locals, like us).


There are some really cool tidal pools inside the cave. We found a starfish and an eel hanging out together.
I just love the colors of all the sea creatures stuck to the cave floor!


The next day, we hiked Beehive Trail. A very steep slope up, there are iron rails to hold onto so you won't fall. Here's Chris, talking business on the phone (Cam -- you made it to our blog, that's you on the other line!)

Here we are at top overlooking Sand Beach.

After the hike, we went on a Whale Watch on a ship called the Friendship V. We were all bundled up; it was so windy!!

Here's a Humpback Whale that flashed his tail at us a few times. We had a front row view, standing at the very tip of the bow. It was so much fun!

  1. Yippee! Summer is back! We are pretty excited about that too!! Hopefully it stays.

    I love the pictures! Looks like you are having a great summer in Bar Harbor, Maine! I love Bar Harbor!!! Christopher loves the picture of the Humpback Whale. He's my little oceanographer or should I say Cetologist. He LOVES anything about whales!!

    Take Care!!
