Ultramarathon on GCI

This is a really big deal. And not just locally. I was stuck at work most of the day but Ric and Samson got to play "waterboy". (No jokes, Emily! haha)
Samson got to squirt runners with water. He made use of the 345 water guns in our house. How many water guns can a five year old boy have?!

Bar Harbor 4th of July Parade

We rode on the Great Maine Lumberjack Show float. Ric performed. Samson and I threw out candy. He thought he was some kind of celebrity!

The wiki definition of sea glass: Sea glass is glass found on beaches along oceans, bays, rivers or large lakes that has been tumbled and smoothed by the waves, water and sand, creating smooth, frosted shards of glass.[1][2][3]
Combing shorelines for sea glass is a hobby for many beach-goers either simply to collect, or to craft into jewelry or other decorative pieces.
Authentic sea and beach glass is becoming harder and harder to find for a variety of reasons: there are more people searching for it; glass items have been replaced by plastics; and littering is increasingly discouraged.

Samson does his part to keep the sea glass hobbyists busy. This is how we dispose of our glass bottles. Throwing it on the rocks below the dock. You know he loves this job.
