Fleece to Beach










Yesterday Nathan, Brady and I went for an evening stroll in the Old Port. It was a lovely evening, but there was a nip in the air. I had Nathan bundled in his new Bean's fleece and Brady was sporting his vest. It is nice to stroll in town and enjoy these last "outside" days. I did become innately aware how unfriendly the Old Port is to strollers, let alone someone in a wheelchair. There really were not many stores that I could go downtown, but considering the Old Port and Portland date back to the 1800's do I really expect anything more than quaint cobblestone streets?





Today the boys and I ventured to Casino Beach! I will admit this was the first time they had been to the beach ever, but in my defense two infants at the beach is quite an undertaking. I was joined by my brother and my niece, Sydney. We only lasted about an hour. Brady and Nathan both liked the sand, touching their toes and taking a little nibble when they thought I wasn't looking; however they didn't like the ice cold water. As soon as we touched their toes to the water they started crying. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, but I know next year will be a lot more fun!!
