....being with crazy family members that you can't help but love
...staying up till 1 am playing silly games like Whoonu, or Uno
....laughing harder than you've laughed all summer
....seeing who can eat a donut off a string (with no hands) fastest.
....having nothing to do but sit by the lake all day
...swimming whenever you want
....going for peaceful canoe rides
....kayaking around the lake
...trying new things (such as kayaking through a culvert covered in spiders)
...more ice cream flavors than you could possibly count
...sitting in a boat on the lake, surrounded by family, watching beautiful fireworks
...the feeling of wind whipping through your hair as you sail across the lake in a speed boat
...hula hooping contests with little cousins
...a delicious breakfast of french toast, bacon, and fruit on Sunday mornings
...waking up to the sun dancing around your room
...watching loons swim around the lake, and great blue herons fly overhead
....toasting s'mores around a big bonfire
...playing double, triple, or quadruple solitaire
...being competitive, but having fun even if you don't win the game
Maine is...
....the epitome of summer
...one of my favorite places on earth.
Maine is... L.O.V.E. <3
