Smithboro: The past 2 weekends full of fun!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. We have been really busy these past couple of weekends. So I'll catch you up.
The weekend of the 11-13
My Mom and Jim decided to attend a Motorcycle meeting in Vermont to close their vacation, so Anna stayed with us in the Boro. Friday after work I stopped home and picked up Anna and headed to Doles Orchard to do some strawberry picking. Alison really enjoyed picking one for the bucket and then one for herself. It was a beautiful evening and a great way to start the weekend. Saturday we headed out early to a Birthday party for Alison's friend Braydon. He goes to daycare with Alison and we know them through the Plummer's. They had a "beach" party at a lake in New Gloucester. It turned out to be a great day weather wise and Alison enjoyed playing in the water and the boat, but toward the end of the party Alison started to feel warm (fever wise), so we headed home. And sure enough we got home and her fever was 103.7, so we hung out at home for the rest of the day, hopeing that it would break over night and she would feel better the next day, but no such luck. She had a fever the next 3 days and after going to the doctors on Monday found out that is was because she had another virus and it was causing ulsers in her throat. Ouch, poor kid. Lucky we had Sue to watch Alison since Daycare was closed for a week so she was able to get some extra loving to help her through it. Also during her week with Grammie, Alison made huge progress with potty training, Hope this lasts. Here are some pictures of this weekend.

The weekend of the 18-20
Saturday we headed to our long lost Plummer's house. The summer's are so busy we hardly get to see them so this weekend was nice to catch up with them. After kind of a crazy morning we headed to a festival in Westbrook with the girls while the guys finished up a round of golf for their long a waited father's day present. The festival was nice the girls enjoyed making rain sticks, fish prints, dancing to the live music, and a little lunch in the shade. The girls started to fade fast so we headed back to the plummer's for a nap and some playtime. After naps Eddie Alison and I headed to a Portland Seadogs Baseball game. Alison really enjoyed seeing Slugger the mascot and eating a "Seadogs Biscuit" which is vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate cookies, yummy. Sunday we started packing for Cooperstown which we a leaving for tomorrow. In the evening we headed to the Campground to visit with Eddie's relatives who were up visiting from VT. Here are some pictures of this past weekend.
