We spent a few days at Cobscook State Park in Maine. One day, we crossed into Canada to explore Campobello Island, where FDR spent his summers. We went on the walking tour and saw where FDR’s childhood summer home used to be (It was torn down), and his 34 room “cottage” that he spent his summers at as an adult. Then, we went hiking. The trail was extremely wet, and most of the trail was slogging through mud. Still, the trail ran along the cliffs above the ocean, and the views were spectacular. Unfortunately, part of the trail was inland, and it was a buggy nightmare. When we got back to the car, we spent a little time at the rocky beach before starting to drive back.
Another day we explored Qouddy Head State Park. After seeing the light house, we set off on a trail that was even muddier than the one at Campobello. Once, my shoe got stuck in the mud and came off! After we finished hiking the muddy trail, we chilled and climbed at the beach. While Ma and Pa relaxed in the sun, I was climbing the cliffs behind the beach, and Little Kid went on a quest to get water from the highest point he could, completely ignoring the ocean and the little pool at the base of the stream. Instead, he climbed up the slippery rocks next to the stream as high as he could go, and filled up his milk jug there. Then, he would start crying “will you help me get down?”and I would come up and carry him down.
