Karen and Zack were supposed to go home Tuesday, but of course there was a hurricane to be reckoned with. Their flights were cancelled, so they were obliged to stay and play awhile longer.
One cloudy day, we took a drive up to Maine. We stopped at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire hoping to grab some seafood at one of those shacks along the side of the road. Unfortunately, everything was boarded up due to the hurricane. The road along Hampton beach – usually bustling with tourists, concerts, and activities – was covered with sand from the storm. We stopped at the abandoned beach and watched the enormous waves roll in, one after another. They were majestic.
Zack and the boys started playing a game where they would stand by the ocean and wait for a wave to come in. When they saw the waves break, they would run away so they wouldn’t get enveloped in them.
Pretty soon Karen and Lucy joined in the fun:
Max almost got swallowed by this wave:
But don’t worry, he’s just fine.
Such a nice day. Next we ate seafood from a fancy seafood restaurant in Kittery, ME. Except we didn’t go in on account of the kids’ happy meals; instead, we ate fancy seafood in the van. :)
We drove to Nubble Light in Maine. It is one of my favorite lighthouses of all time. Just simple and pretty. I stayed in the van with a sleeping Lucy while the rest of them looked around.

These are great picture- there is such delight in that wave-chasing.
Is this light house also in Kittery? It looks very familiar to me. I am so glad you all had such a grand time together . . . and more than a little jealous, too. :) And I love that except for in the pictures of the hike, Karen is wearing heels everywhere. Only she could pull that off! :)
The lighthouse is in York - just past Kittery. I'm sure it was the one you've been to, Kim!
Love that lighthouse! That wave chasing seems a bit dangerous.
