Busy Little Bees - Part 2!

To celebrate Ben being done with law school and surviving taking the Massachusetts bar exam, we met up with his family at Wells Beach in Maine.  We drove to the beach on Saturday and ended up staying until Wednesday.  The cute little cottage was right on the beach, and was just so hard to say good-bye to!

One aspect of the beach that we couldn't get enough of was taking Nyla for morning and evening walks.  Dogs are allowed on the beach before 8 am and after 6 pm, so we brought Nyla out to experience the beach for the first time!  I can't believe that at 8 years old the ole' gal hasn't stepped onto a sandy beach!  She loved walking in the sand and smelling all of the fishy smells.  She was not a huge fan of actually going into the water!

The days were filled with sand castle building and lots of relaxing!   

It was a perfect loooong weekend and just what we needed!  We usually try to get out of the city every few weekends or so, so it was really hard to not be able to do much of anything while Ben was studying for the bar.  We were able to recharge, eat lots of seafood, and of course watch the Olympics!  Needless to say I was pretty excited to watch gymnastics, and the girls did not disappoint!

Go Fab Five!!
