Last summer, Jackie took David on a hike. They decided to tackle Mt. Kineo, and they didn't ask me for good reason! I'm afraid of heights!:)
They had to take a boat over to the base of the mountain.
Lets see if David is still smiling at the top!
I'm not sure if this was at the bottom on the way up or the bottom on the way down. Lets say the bottom on the way up! He looks like he is ready to tackle this mountain.
I guess they made it, and they are BOTH smiling!! Looks like they found a friendly hiker to take their picture, either that or a friendly bear :o !
The views are beautiful! I enjoy looking at the pictures of them. :)
David had a great time!
He brought home a rock and labled it Kineo and put the date and who he hiked with.
They had a really fun time. Thank you Jackie for taking David, otherwise he would of had to observe from the bottom :)
We all put smiles on our faces, filled up buckets with warm, soapy water and Murphy's Oil Soap, grabbed some rags, and set to wiping cabinets, walls, floors, and beams. 
Scott was very happy to have J.D there to help out. J.D. was in a bad snowmobiling accident and was still recovering from it. He smashed his knee, and the recovery process had been very slow and very painful. Yet he put aside the pain and didn't complain, and worked all day!! He is amazing and my boys have learned so much from him.

We stopped for a feast that Jackie brought. Sandwiches, chips, fruit, and soda. Not only did they come to work , but they brought lunch too!! :)
Macy had the upstairs covered as far as making sure everyone stayed working. She did allow an occasional coffee break! :)
She also frosted the cake and added some green coconut :) You can't see in the picture, but the frosting was pink.
Here is the finished product. Thank you 
Scalloped potatoes hot from the oven. I topped these off with fried onion rings :)
I really wanted to do a spinach salad but spinach was 3.99 a bag !!! So I opted for the good old tossed salad with mandarin oranges, kumquats, and toasted almonds. I did make 
High Tea was quite the affair! Scott and Acelia practice with plenty of tea parties! Scott spent a lot of time on line looking up how to behave at a proper tea :) what spoon to use, how to hold the cup, etc. It is not proper to lift your pinkie when you sip tea. :o
Here they are waiting to be served. The flower center piece was so beautiful. I will try to find a picture of it to post on Monday. All the girls had to look under their teacup to see if they had a pansy sticker. Whoever had the pansy sticker took home the center piece. Acelia had the sticker!! She was so happy. The fathers and daughters were able to keep the tea cups, and their picnic baskets from the previous day.
After High Tea, all the fathers and daughters went outside to have a professional picture taken. They sent a CD full of pictures to all the fathers and daughters.
This was last year at the 2007 Father Daughter Retreat that Vision Forum does every year. This was a life changing experience for my daughter and husband. Little did we know that the rest of the family would be changed through this experience. The bond that formed between Acelia and her daddy that weekend was so special. The event took place March 30 - April 1. 
They stayed at Mountain Creek Inn in Pine Mountain Georgia. Quite a change from our climate this time of year.
Pretty view! It doesn't look much different from our area, when it isn't covered with snow :)
Scott came home and wanted to invest in lots of flowering shrubs for our property :) I can see why.
Just thought you would like to view what spring time in Maine really looks like! :)
This is my flower garden today 3/20/08. Lets take a look at a picture from a previous post
