Happy Fourth of July . I hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend. The weather here in New England couldn't have been bought...just beautiful.We headed North to Monson so my Mom could spend her birthday weekend with her dad, up at his "camp".
Monson Maine, on the shores of Hebron Lake. An Appalachian trail town, home to the Shaw's and the Pie Lady. It is also known world wide for the slate that was mined there for years...Monson Slate.
We stayed in the van, lakeside, Friday night and then joined family for a great camp breakfast. I got to hang out with Grampa's dog Humble, he is a terrier too and we get along just splendid.
Mom and Dad and I did some exploring Saturday morning. We found an old slate quarry and poked around. Then we dove into Greenville on Moosehead Lake. We saw seaplanes on the lake...wicked cool. We shopped around a few stores, yep, they let this adventure dog into the stores too...too cute to refuse...I guess.
In town there were a couple of stone monuments, with quotes from Thoreau and native Indians. Of course I posed for the photo shoot. We visited the historical society museum there too.
Afternoon found us back at camp for a BBQ and bonfire. Such a beautiful weekend, and for once, relaxing. Sunday we took an early morning paddle across Hebron Lake, we could see Grampa out walking Humble on shore. We saw lots of frogs too. Relaxing with family refreshes this dog for my next big adventure...stay tuned.
