Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Today, the Saunders family and I went to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. It's an adorable coastal town with tons of lobster catching (lobster fishing? lobstering?)  Josh looks super cool in this picture... We walked around the town, went in a few cute shops and got yummy ice cream cones! The view was amazing from all angles! After we walked around for a while, we played a game of mini golf! I thought we were bowling though because I ended up with the highest score! :) Matt ended up winning. It was a beautiful Maine day and I'm glad we spent it outside!!

Strawberry Picking in Maine

In the small rural town of Athens, Maine- Josh, his mom and I picked a flat of strawberries one July afternoon. We visited Sites Farm which is a cute little family owned farm and the most beautiful scenery! We were told which row to pick on and given a few containers to hold strawberries and started picking! Josh was a good picker because he picked strawberries at a local farm when he was in high school. I tried my best and pretended to know what I was doing the whole time. The strawberries were so cute!! The smaller ones were the best because the bigger ones were usually laying out the ground and had started rotting. I started a system to where I would "sample" one and then pick a few and then "sample" another.....it was a good system! This is one of the many cartons I filled with fresh strawberries!! Josh and I were so proud of our pickings!! Josh's mom and grandma ended up making strawberry shortcake with these strawberries a few days later which was so deli...
