Pheewww. . . . I am tired, but we had such a great time with our visitors. A few months ago Brad's Best Buddy Kent (from BYU) planned a little roommate reunion. Nicely for us, this reunion included coming to Maine. Kent, his wife Elizabeth, their daughter Annika, LaMar (another roommate) and his wife Amy drove up from D.C. and N.Y. on Thursday night. They met up with Brad in Portland, ME and the guys split off to hike Mt. Washington in NH and the girls drove up to spend the day with me at the coast.

This is me with the Ladies on Thompson Island after our Picnic lunchAfter lunch we went down to Bar Harbor, where we looked through shops, took a walk along the shore, and enjoyed a taste of Lobster Ice Cream....Yumm (ok, I'm kidding, well we did have lobster ice cream, but you wouldn't exactly want a whole cone...)
While we were enjoying our seaside adventure, Brad, Kent and LaMar were having a little adventure of their own. They hiked to the summit of Mount Washington and back in one day. 13+ miles in all. Before they left, they were bragging to us about how Mount Washington has the worst weather on earth... It has snowed at the summit in all months of the year, and the highest recorded wind velocities ever were recorded there. They came back exausted, and sore, but they had a great time together non the less. This is them on the summit...I guess there wasn't much of a view.Saturday, we went back to Mount Desert Island, so the boys could experience the coast of Maine as well. Here we are enjoying the harbor.
Saturday was also Annika's birthday, so we celebrated ocean side. I thought that was neat. (Annika and Gwen are only 2 weeks apart.) She was fun to watch, she is a total ham, and she is an amazing communicator. She can say Pup pup, for dog, and duck, and fish as plain as day. I was totally impressed.
I love this picture of Brad with Kent. Kent is such a great friend. I absolutely adore him. He is really like a brother to me. And I also just love to see him and Brad together. 
Kent, LaMar, BradP.S. You know I post all these pictures to convince you to come visit!

Looks like you show visitors a good time. Yummy! Lobster Ice Cream...only in Maine! :)
Maine looks like the perfect place to live...I'm jealous!
Sorry you guys don't know me but Elizabeth told me to check out the pictures (she and I are old mission companions). I was also instructed to comment on Kent's ruggedly handsome new haircut.
