Happy 4th of July – Thursday – July 4, 2013

 We woke to a beautiful morning!!
 
00 - Woke to a beautiful morning
 
We are so anxious to begin exploring the hiking and biking trails in Acadia,
but decided to sit tight until after the holiday crowds depart!!
 
Instead, we just piddled around all morning.
 
Piddling is one of our favorite past-times :o))
 
 
It began to warm up in the afternoon, so we headed down by the water.
 
Dan, Tricia, Bill and I found a little shaded spot along the coast.

From our vantage point,
we could see Cadillac Mountain across Mt. Desert Narrows.

We enjoyed the view and the company until it was time for our 4th of July Picnic!
 
 
 
We gathered at the picnic ground between the rigs.01c - Hanging out on the 4th- group picnic
We even had our 4th of July Balloons to make it festive;o))
 
 
We grilled hot dogs and everyone contributed some side dishes.
 
However, the star of the meal was dessert…
 
Nutty Buddy Pie made by Tricia!!!

I didn’t ask what the ingredients were… I just enjoyed every bite;o))
 
 
Our 4th of July Celebration concluded with a campfire.
 
Dan has a unique method of splitting wood ;o))
