A Quick Trip to Maine.....Post #2

Because I wrote this up on the wrong blog and I was having trouble just
copying & pasting it, I decided to split it into two posts!



Then the fog rolled in and changed everything! I never did catch a glimpse of the lighthouse!


                                        
 


 


  We did some fun hiking around Jordan Pond....in the fog though!

 


 

                              And we found a neat cave where we went exploring...

 



          This is the old original ranger station house that is now a gift shop!

 And finally a family selfie!

When we got back home and I had time to sit and look through all the pictures,
it reminded me of how great my God is! So I want to leave you with one more
picture and a verse that these pictures brought to my mind......

              " God that made the world and all things therein,
                seeing that He is Lord of Heaven and earth, 
                dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
                Neither is worshiped  with men's hands,
                as though He needed any thing, seeing 
                He giveth to all life, and breath, and ALL things"

                                                            Acts 17:24

A Quick Trip to Maine... Post #1

For years we had been talking about taking a family trip to Maine....

One year we actually packed for Maine, but when we got to the end of the
driveway we flipped a coin & it landed tails, so we went to  North Carolina
instead! Crazy, I know. But that's how we roll...😄

This year we decided, again rather last minute, to make the trip. Josiah was
getting ready to head off to college, so we thought it would be a great
opportunity to spend time together before he left.

We were also blessed with the gift of a fifth-wheel trailer for our ministry,
so we wanted to try it out before the long haul to NM coming up in October.

 That's enough story.....now for the pictures!!!

We went to the LL Bean store!

 

We hiked this really neat trail....yes, it's a trail! Notice the orange flag
hanging from the tree in the right corner? It was amazing!

Sometimes there weren't any orange flags....

We came out here thinking it looked like a great place for a moose!

Then we decided it was probably better NOT to see a moose when you are hiking!

And finally we came out into a field of goldenrod!! Not a poppy field like on the
Wizard of Oz, but tall goldenrod!!

We went to Baxter State Park and actually saw a moose....from the truck!

We rented canoes for $1/ hour!!

Unfortunately, we could not get in to the park because our truck was too wide!

Something they failed to put on their website! We hiked a little around one lake

and rented canoes, but we could not go in to where we wanted to hike! The best

part though was seeing the moose....on the way INTO the park!! The ranger said

we did better than 95% of people who go there expecting to see a moose!

See the little red tree back there?

One of the many lakes in Baxter State Park

Acadia National Park is AMAZING! We hope to one day go back and have more time there!
