Off To Bridgton!

After picking my parents up at the airport, we headed to our hometown of Bridgton (about 45 minutes Northwest of Portland). As I mentioned in an earlier blog, this is the first time we have been "home" with my parents since 1992. We rented a little "rustic" 3 bedroom cabin on Woods Pond in Bridgton. As I journal this a better word to describe the cabin would be "damp". Our stay there was pretty rainy and staying right on the water made for a "damp" stay - fun but... damp! The first couple of days were pretty nice but when Wednesday hit - so did the rain!
Westwood Cottages was "Heaven on Earth" for the kids. They thought they were in paradise with all of the possibilities of exploration - water, bushes, pine needles, woods, dirt, rocks... you name it! The best part.... it wasn't hot! On Sunday morning when we woke up at an early 6:30 they wanted to hit the water. We honored the "quiet time" and made them wait until 9:00. It didn't take them long to strip right down into their swimsuits. Notice the temperature!! A whopping 58 degrees!
