Is this place beautiful, or what?!

We treated my mom to a lobster lunch at Barnacle Billy’s for her birthday..

Kiera was really into this lobster claw. She kept it on her finger all day and insisted we bring it back to Germany with us. It’s in her “treasure box” in her room right now. I’M NOT KIDDING. She cracks me up!

Can you tell this guy LOVES lobster?!

This pic was hanging up in the restaurant. Apparently we’re not the only ones who like this place!

We spent the rest of the day exploring the town..

How could we NOT take this picture of her in front of the Aquinnah shop?! Lately, when strangers ask her name, she’s been saying Aquinnah instead of Quinnie 🙂

Beautiful name for a beautiful girl (inside and out).

 

there are lots of adorable stores in Perkins Cove

views from some of the store windows..

The girls can only handle shopping for about 20 minutes until they get restless, so they went exploring outside..

Time to walk the Marginal Way girls!

The Marginal Way walk along the coast is SO beautiful. See the people walking near the rock ledge (background left)?

exploring every nook and cranny

Quinnie has been getting more into photography lately 🙂

getting dark- time to head home!

You’re beautiful, Ogunquit!

We make sure we go to these three places at some point every summer. First up-

Sandwich Creamery! Because what’s not to love about homemade ice cream and farm animals?!

Any place that had chickens- my girls are IN! No idea where their chicken obsession comes from, but it is STRONG

love this sign 🙂

Quinnie checking out the map of where visitors to the farm have come from (lots from Germany!)

Grandma and her Grandkids

Another day, we went to one of our favorite restaurants in North Conway (Flatbread Company)

they cannot resist climbing on this

we went into a few of our favorite stores

the girls bought these extra sour pickles at Zeb’s General Store (love that place!)

We also spent a day in Wolfeboro, where I went to high school for a year.

the girls got to pick out a toy at Black’s

Then we walked around town, where the girls found this cool bench..

I bought them this charm necklace because it reminded me of one I had when I was their age.

We always buy ice cream at Bailey’s Bubble (LOL- Kiera looks like she’s doing a face-plant into hers),

..and then eat it by the lake.
