Last three days in Maine

I have had the most fantastic last days in Maine! I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Saturday I went to Kathleen and Derek's. We played the piano and went out to lunch at Five Island. And then we just talked. And do what we always do. I had a really nice time. 

At night Dan and Mari were having a lobster bake. It was us, my Danish parents, Leslie -who placed me with the Eosco's- and her daughter and sister. Kirsti also stopped by.

After dinner Mari took us downtown to watch the fireworks from the Kennebec Tavern. It was a very pretty show. 

Sunday started with Danish children's music, and dancing with Alden and Gavin in the living room. Then we got ready and went downtown to the Fair. The boys pumped balloons, got swords and ran around playing while Dan, Mari and I had lunch. Then we took them to the Carnival under the bridge and we went on all the rides. It was a lot of fun, specially to see the boys having a good time. 

They both fell asleep in the stroller on the way back and Dan, Mari and I got in the pool, cause after a day at the Carnival we were both hot and dirty. 

Then we sat on the porch while the boys woke up and started playing around in the yard. -Yes, I got the difference between Garden and Yard now. 

We had lobster rolls for dinner and the boys got a tub. Then I got to put them to bed one last time. Gavin went right down, but Alden didn't go that easy. So I ran up and down the stairs reading for Alden, eating ice cream, and watching Legally Blond with Dan and Mari. Both Mari and Dan had to go up with Alden before he fell asleep, and then we all decided that it was bedtime. 

I didn't fall asleep until 2.00 am and woke up at 7.00.

Today has been so hard. I cried when I woke up, when Mari came down, when the boys came down, when Dan came down. I got the very last packing done, and then we all got ready and walked downtown. First we went to see Dan's house, and how the renovation was going, it looks great! Then we went to the coffee shop and got cookies for the boys and drinks for the rest of us. We went and got Thai food for lunch which we brought back home. 
At one it was time to take the final goodbye, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. 
It took a lot of tissues, hugs, I'll Miss You and I Love You's. When we finally got in the car they all waved at me on the porch and Alden followed us a little down the street. 


Now I'm sitting in a hotel room in Boston, trying to create the illusion of being home in Bath with Puff Plus', Blue Nail polish, pictures of my lovely family, while watching the City Council Meeting of the night. 


And I have to stop writing now, cause it's hard to see what I'm writing through tears. 
I'll write a final post ones I get home. Until then, I just wanna say that this has been the best year of my live and I love my family and friends in Maine very very much! I miss you all already!
