Old Orchard Beach

We had such a wonderful time the two days we went to Old Orchard (in spite of the fact that I was dumb enough to get a severe sunburn).  We played in the water, swam, shopped on the pier and in town, and all in all just had a wonderful couple days together.  The girls did find a couple of t-shirt shops that they especially liked, although I think they were much more attracted to the young man selling the t-shirts than they were to the actual shop! 

Surf was very high and rough while we were there and a number of swimmers had to be rescued from riptides.  In just the first day we were there, 48 swimmers were rescued which is a lot.  Most often 48 swimmers are not rescued in a whole year, let alone in just a day.

Shelby and Taylor's Summer Visit

Over the past few summers, Shelby and Taylor have taken a week and come to spend it with "auntie".  We have a great time and this summer was no exception.  Here are a few pictures that they took while they were here. They also edited the pictures for some great "special effects".  Enjoy!
