Part of the adventure was to go to a local gem mine.   Some were more interested in finding semi precious gems, than others were, but everyone was entertained. 

It is always fun to wash the rocks 

and the clothes

They realized a little splashed on to Maggie's shirt! So the rock scrubbing brush should be good for the shirt too!

The excitement came when Jack found a tiny piece of tourmaline.  

These guys did not give up. 

One of the most exciting parts of the week occurred when Melissa,  Estella, and Brenna were baptized in our river.  The water is very cold, but Pastor Kevin and Pop helped all three take this step of faith.  

This is the same spot where Becca and Jason were baptized.  

It is not too cold to have fun.

You did not have to ask him twice if he had fun on the Suzuki. He is a natural!!!

Mimi's -husband,brother and sisters, sister-in laws, Nan, and her friend.   All good sports and even though the day was very windy they have that Maine spirit.  

Becca and Richie were great hosts and did so much to make sure everyone had a good time.  We thank  you and appreciate all that you did.

Richie and the cooking crew. 

More to come another day.
