Adventurous Leila

My Grandma and Papa flew out to meet us and we all stayed in a nice campground in Wells, Maine. Grandma and Papa stayed in the doll house, it’s basically a small house with a bed, tv, mini fridge and small closet. It was right by the basketball court so of course we had to play lots of basketball. The campground also had a nice bathroom with hot showers, a playground, game room and a pool.

The first day we picked up my grandparents from the airport. On our way we were getting off the highway and we seen their plane fly right over us to land, it was super cool. Once we got back to camp we unpacked, got settled and opened all the gifts they brought for us.

Most days we went into the small fisherman towns near by to explore. We ate at this one place called Splash with a beautiful view of the ocean and live music. I got to try all kinds of seafood. Lots of lobster, calamari, fried clams, bacon wrapped scallops and so much more. We also shopped at all the touristy spots for souvenirs.

Right down the road from our campground was a beach that had a playground connected to it. We spent the afternoon hanging on the beach, playing in the sand and at the playground. It was fun but I wish the weather/water was a bit warmer.

Another day we headed to Orchard beach to celebrate Elijah’s birthday. It’s basically a huge boardwalk that has a permanent carnival set up. We all got wristbands so we could ride unlimited rides. My papa even went on some with us kids. After riding majority of the rides I started feeling really sick and needed to eat. We walked over to a nice restaurant along the water. As soon as we arrived I ran straight to the bathroom to vomit. After throwing up I felt so much better and was ready for some dinner…. I guess I rode too many spinning rides in a row. After dinner we headed back to meet up with Tom, Delmara and the kids to ride more rides. Since it was getting late my parents headed back to take Landon to bed, but I got to stay with Tom and Delmara to watch the fireworks. I would say they were one of the best firework shows I’ve ever seen. It made it even better because we sat on the beach and watched them explode over the ocean.

The following day, Papa, Dad and Uncle Tom all went out for a deep sea fishing trip. My grandparents rented a hotel in town for their last few nights, so us girls and Landon headed there to check in and swim. That evening since the men were tired we just ordered pizza and sat in the hot tub. My parents took Landon back to the RV but I got to stay the entire time at the hotel with them. Every morning I got up and headed to the buffet for waffles and chocolate milk before getting our day started.

The last day with my grandparents we decided to have a seafood fiesta. We went to this place called Lobster Off the Boat to pick up some fresh lobster. It was so cool to see all the lobsters in the bins and getting to hand pick our dinner. Aside from Lobster we also fried up the fresh fish the guys caught, made bacon wrapped scallops, potatoes and corn. It was the perfect way to end their vacation in Maine. Sadly the next morning we checked out of the RV park and took them back to the airport so we could head to our next spot in Maine… Bar Harbor!
