Maine or Bust!

Okay, okay, I'm a little behind on the blog.  Things have been just a little busy around here.

Let me take you back.  Aaaaall the way to September.  Okay, it was about a month ago.  We packed our bags and headed to New England!  Our destination?  Maine, for Leah and Jeremy's wedding.

We had an early morning flight and Leo was ready for the adventure.  As you can see, he's becoming a very comfotable flyer.  
 

We flew to Boston and rented a car to drive up north.  We stopped in Portland, Maine for lunch (lobster roll for Brad, of course), to stretch our legs, and to get our fix of this little city we enjoy so much.  Leo loved it too.

Leah and Jeremy had such fun ideas for their "camp" wedding - one of them was to go to a farm up the road and we picked flowers for the wedding!  We were given guidelines and scissors and we cut them straight from the plant.  It was so fun!  Leo slept through this fun activity.

At the camp, we were invited to stay with a family in their cabin.  They have two young boys who are Riley and Asher's ages so they have toys, a pack and play, and were ready for babies.  It was so nice and comfortable at their cabin!  We had such a nice time staying with them.  And man oh man were those boys into "Baby Leo".  They were so curious as to what he was doing, why he was making certain noises, if he wanted to play with their toys, etc.

Brad was most concerned about catching the Penn State game.  He and Leo were all dressed up with no where to go.  He listened to the game on my phone, and Leo took a snooze in his pack and play.
 

Here's a video of how Leo spent some of his time in Maine:

Since we were in Maine, Leo and I (unintentionally) dressed in our Lobster Finest:

I was a bridesmaid so Brad was on Dad Duty all day while I was in and out, hanging out with the girls and getting my makeup done - it was so nice to be pampered!  Doesn't Leo look so sweet?  He was wearing loafers but they kept falling off.

Suuuper Daaaaad!  As the evening went on and Leo got tired, we brought out the big guns - the baby carrier.  Brad pulled the ultimate dad move and danced the night away with Leo strapped to him.

Here is Leo, the morning after, with the beautiful bride:

On our last day, we got the car all packed up, we got situated, we got Leo in the car and hit the road for our 3 hour drive to Boston.  Not 30 seconds after we hit the (gravel) road, we smelled the dreaded smell.  We had a code brown.  What opportune timing - we were dropping our trash off at the dumpster of the camp, so we made a presto changeo outfit change and made another deposit at the dumpster.  And then we really hit the road.

On the way down, we stopped at the Portland Head Light, one of the most picturesque light houses in Maine.  We walked around, Brad had another lobster roll, and we filled up Leo's tank before driving down to Boston.


We spent the day with Boston's newest residents, Grandma Carol and Poppa!  We loved spending time with them and visiting their beautiful new apartment. Poppa, Brad and Leo enjoyed their grilling time outside too and shared a few beers amongst the guys. 



Finally, the next day, it was time to head home.  Doesn't this look like the face of a baby who is ready for his own crib?
