Sebago

Leaving Sunday River at brunch and the storm is starting. But we have time to stop by this famous sign.

Back in Sebago Hurricane Irene has started - trees coming down on houses and power lines and giant waves on the lake making the docks fly in the air. It was very scary being on the water so we went to a neighbors house to bunker down and wait out the worst of the storm.

Assessing the damage the next day - the lake was so calm and perfect - its like the storm blew all the bad away and its so clear.

Perfect day for a swim but Watson doesn't like it when you jump in.

We don't have power so Mike's making breakfast on the grill and boiling some hot water for coffee.

Watson & Mike hanging out burning some of the tree branches that blew down.

Checking out more damage around the neighborhood

Rock pulled this out of the lake - oh boy!

Going into town for food and drink

Uh-oh, The Mosquito is out of power - the ice cream will melt!

Mike & I took a trip to Freeport, Maine for a day of shopping, and we found a cool new Ben & Jerry's creation - pretzel cones - awesome!!

Maine is amazing - there's blueberry beer!

Going out for lobster dinner

I'm sure this is a different day and a new ice cream stop - at the Mosquito.
