late summer in Maine

Encountered this scenic view on our way to camp today…isn’t Maine gorgeous?

Hard to believe, another fantabulous day here in Maine today.  I’ve told my kids that September is going to be hot and sunny since August has been such a wash.  Of course they will be in school so I’ll just have to fill them in on how nice it was outside that day!  Six days until school starts!

Fall is coming, the leaves are already starting to turn in some stretches along the roads.

  

I love driving down the back roads and seeing all the farmstands along the road.  Growing up in the suburbs of Milwaukee, farm stands weren’t something I saw – more like bakeries and corner bars!  Yah Yah Milwaukee! 

 

Tomorrow is the last day of camp for Junior Mint, one last drive to UMF.  Today was a rough one, they went bowling and then gave each child four quarters for the arcade – my guy hearts the arcade…never wants to leave…has a meltdown if plucked too soon.  Guess who cried the whole ride back to camp? 

I’m so thankful for the students and staff at UMF and the Autism Society of Maine for collaborating on such a fantastic experience for our family – right when we needed it the most too.  Camp Summit will be on the calendar every year until Junior Mint turns 15 (or they kick him out!)

Off to the kitchen to put together a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for our counselor, she was fantastic!  I’m thinking some Rosemary Mint Sugar Scrub outta do it, and a nice thank you note too!
