It seems that all our weekends are a
whirlwind around here! Let's see where do we start... Saturday morning we had swimming lessons.

Smiling after blowing bubbles!
Christopher and his friend Sean Michael---notice the mohawk!

Check out Christopher diving off the diving board!
Immediately following swimming lessons, we jumped in the car and headed up to Maine to visit with Shaun's family! It was a nice ride--not many cars on the road. Probably due to the high gas prices and uncertainty in the economy. I was rather impressed when we stopped to get gas in Hampton, NH.
Yes, for those of you who live here in good old Connecticut--that's 3.09 a gallon for regular! Even their super+ is cheaper than a gallon of regular in Connecticut! When we were coming home last night we saw regular gas in Plainville was 3.36! Hmmmm...
Anyways, we visited with Shaun's mother and friend Jim at her home where we dropped off our suitcases. We then went over to Shaun's Memere's house and caught up with Shaun's sister Nicole, brother-in-law Jeff and his 11 month old nephew Bryce. The kids had an opportunity to play with Bryce. Christopher was excited about seeing Bryce because he wanted to see him walk! They had to skip out because it was Jeff's father's 60th Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Then, Shaun's sister Amanda and her husband Miles came over with her two little ones, Alexander (2) and Elizabeth (11 months). The kids had fun hanging out together! We (Amanda and I and then Miles joined us) had to take them outside to kick a ball around so they wouldn't snack anymore while Shaun was out getting take out dinner for us all!
The highlight of the night would have to be the UNO Game! Lisa (Shaun's aunt), Shaun, Christopher & Memere and Grande Memere started a game of UNO at about 7:45pm or so and it lasted almost 2 hours! It was a fun game with lots of laughter!! Christopher had a great time (even though he was exhausted!) and was excited because he is the "UNO Champion!" Watch out for Grande Memere! Christopher can't wait to play again with you all! :) 
We went back to Memere's house and slept. Thanks for having us!! Also, thanks for the great homemake Sunday Breakfast! We then met up with Shaun's dad and his friend Nancy at their home. The kids always love to visit Grandpa and Nancy because they have a big fish tank and a cat named Chino. Anneli was very excited because Chino hung around a bit more than usual and let her pet him a lot! She even said to Shaun, "We can buy a cat like him." She's really been dying for a pet other than two fish! She wants a "real live one"! Anneli hated to leave their house with the cat there, but we left to have lunch with Grandpa and Nancy at my favorite restaurant--
Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery, ME. It's definately a "must stop" place when we go to Maine. I
love seafood!! It was great to have Nicole, Jeff and Bryce meet us there too!!
After leaving Grandpa's house Sunday evening we took a quick trip to the Beach! Anneli talked about going ALL day long, but it was
FREEZING! We took a ride along Long Beach Ave in York so Anneli and Chris could see the beach. It was way too cold to get out! We then took a trek up to Cape Neddick to see the
Nubble Lighthouse. Another "must stop" when we are in Maine! The kids got out there and it was super windy! You can tell from the pics.
That's pretty much our
whirwind weekend! We had a great time, but we are glad to be home!
I'm sorry, usually I take tons of pictures, but this weekend I was soooo lazy(tired actually)! I promise next time we head up there I will take more pictures of all the cousins playing together!
