Yay! Pumpkin carving time. I hadn't realized how many pumpkins I had bought over the last couple of weeks (six) until I started to find places for them. Luckily, three of them are really small and fit in my centerpiece. Of course, you can never have too many pumpkins when it comes to carving them, especially when you discover the greatness of power tools. Thank you for the dremel Lesa!!
p.s. If you try to use a dremel yourself, do so in an easily cleanable spot (pumpkin dust is a bit sticky).
After riding the ferry to the island we had the choice of catching a 15 minute ride to the house or hiking about two hours through the woods (Isle of Haut is actually part of the Acadia National park system so the trail system- although very wet- is very well maintained). The car below wasn't what we would've been able to ride in , but we did notice that all the cars on the island were older, and without license plates.
Being that it was one of the first days we had seen the sun this year, Phill and I chose to hike through the middle of the island. The hike was quite pleasant and it was very surprising to see the amount of fresh water on an oceanic island. There was even a stream that was about the size of Bear Creek! (You can tell Phill was the one with the camera this trip)
And me resting on the beach (note the nice pinkish color I have obtained by this point (who knew, I could burn after two hours of sun exposure in August).
