Well, here we are arriving at Edinburgh Airport on Sat June 7th - you don't really get a feel for how much stuff there is hidden behind the kids here, but we had 10 check-in bags, two prams, six carry on bags and four children. Fortunately we had help - Papa, Nana Suze, Gran Anne and Auntie Kim all came to wave us off (make sure we left) so we had enough trolley pushers...
And every single bag had a 'heavy' tag after we checked it.... Still, no-one seemed to care, so off we flew to Amsterdam, and after a 5(!) hour delay, finally headed off to Boston. The kids were really great on the flight - the delay meant that by the time we got on the flight it was their bedtime and we didn't hear a peep out of them - well, except Phoebe, who had come down with the runny bum lurgy and wasn't too impressed with life!! Some passengers probably weren't too impressed with her, but we're never going to see them again!
So here we are in Maine and it's baking. Really really really hot.... about 35 degrees and very humid, but apparently three days ago it was 10 degrees, so who knows if it will last. We got here at 1.30 am and it was 25 degrees even then. But the kids are loving the beach and we are loving the relaxation - makes a nice change from last weeks near nervous breakdown, but more about that in a mo - I am reverse blogging tonight... These pics are of the unscheduled stop on the beach after breakfast this morning - hence the fully clothed
bathing look.Plans for the rest of the week involve more beach, more shopping and more yummy food! Off to take the kids on a steam train trip on Wednesday too - http://www.conwayscenic.com/ -
More soon!!
