Marcos Hot Dog Night

There is this hot dog/taco joint in the town I live that is always happening. Every once in a while we get a group of friends together to enjoy these bacon wrapped hotdogs with pinto beans, jalapenos, mayonaise, ketchup, cheese, mustard and hot sauce if you like.

Trip to Visit DAN's via Boston Part 3

We left DAN's and headed to Portland, ME looking for Portland Head Light.

Too many trees on the way to Holly's
Dad liked taking photos with his phone. Stopped by my best friend's house on the way back to Boston for a quick visit.
Jalal and Dad catching up.
Holly and Me - we really didn't know how to do this short visit thing. I've never just stopped by for a couple of hours.

Scott and Holly in the kitchen during the crisis.

The crisis being that Holly's mom had broken her toe and ripped off the nail in the living room. Here are her grandkids taking care of her after Ryan bandaged her toe up.

They looked thrilled.

Picture of my parents and Holly's parents before Jalal took Mary to the Dr's for her poor toe.Holly, Me and Hannah. Yay!

Hannah's Family and Holly's Family.

Bye!

After leaving Holly's, we went to Crane's Beach.

Trip to Visit DAN's via Boston Part 2

**Sidenote: I understand there are A LOT of photos on this post. Oddly enough, there are some people interested in seeing all of them, if you're not one of them, I suggest you scroll quickly.**

We were meeting DAN's at the hotel we were staying in Kennebunk. Unfortunately, there was an accident and we sat in traffic for an hour.

The Inn where we stayed and later found out is haunted. We didn't see anything though. :)

Yay! We finally get to Don, Ann and Nick.

This boy loves, I mean LOVES, his Grandma.


Drawing with Grandpa

Hanging out

Enjoying our time

How is Nick hanging upside down?

Uncle Scott and Grandpa might have something to do with it.

Don found an excellent place for dinner in nearby Wells.


We had to try the steamers. You'll notice there are no photos of Mom. Her response to the steamers? No thank you!

Dad diving right in.

Scott thinks they're finger licking good.

Don's fine with it.
Then there was Ann. She and I only had one as that is all we needed to experience it.

Me getting the skin thing off the neck.

In the process of cleaning it, I accidentally ripped it's stomach.....

Not too bad. Tastes like chicken.
The unedibles

Scott likes to play with his food.

He really likes playing with his food.

Run, boys, run!

So, you want to make a sand castle?

We stopped by the hangar and airport where Don works on the way to his house.
Don in his element.
Nick showing Uncle Scott things. This kid knows more about airplanes than I ever will!
Once Nick got home, he had a lot of things to show us. The things an aunt and uncle will do for their nephew.
Hmmmm....I wonder where Nick and Aunt Sandy are....
Aha! Uncle Scott is soooo good at this game.
Uncle Scott's turn.
Ann at the lake behind their home watching Nick play in the water.
Ready for some fun!
Whoa, Scott!
Whoa, Don!
High five on the ride.
