Back home I was the queen of being connected. I always knew what activities were going on. Today I had done some research and found out what was happening this weekend where we are, Portland, Maine!

First off was a free climbing event at a local gym. I took the oldest 4 while Deon stayed with the littles. The kids had a blast with both bouldering and belayed climbing. The staff were impressed with their abilities, but I did have to tell them my kids weren’t first time climbers. My kids only wished 1) the climbs were harder and 2) we could have stayed all day.

Next activity for the day was to go to the Maine Narrow Gauge Raikroad Museum, complete with a train ride. The kids completed a scavenger hunt in the museum and earned cute conductors hats. We had a little break in the rain, perfect for enjoying our ride.

It was early still, so Deon took Aunica out to go see Guardians of the Galaxy 2, while I made dinner and the kids watched Petes Dragon, which I found infinitely sad. Now early to bed for a good day tomorrow.
