The Maine Event 2011 - Weekend Three

Weekend 3 started with a late night Friday arrival on JetBlue. The next morning, both girls rushed into our bedroom for the usual routine of snuggling, wrestling and laughing.

Later we broke out the bikes for a ride on the Eastern Trail. Half way through our adventure we took a break for lunch at the Dunegrass Country Club. Then, back on the bikes to complete our 14 mile trip.

Afternoon was beach time with our Hurwitz/Supovitz cousins. This included burying poor cousin Lily.

We invited all our cousins over in the evening for a cocktail party. The grownups talked, argued and imbibed. The kids ran around and played.

Sunday was a bit gloomy, so we headed out to our first-ever family miniature golf challenge at Pirate's Cove. Lots of fun. The girls did a great job and, on some holes, beat their parents. Stella even got a hole-in-one on the 18th hole.

But when the numbers were totaled up, the results were definitive:

Stella 76
Marni 80
Lisa 56
Steve 48

Now, to the kids, it appeared that Marni won (highest score). But we all know who really won.

Late Sunday afternoon Nana Audrey, Papa Harold, Aunt Carol and Uncle Norman arrived for their visit. After taking a tour of the new cottage, we headed down to the beach for Stella's now-famous bike-riding breakthrough.

The next morning the big metal bird took Daddy back to NYC until Friday.
