Hermit Island

Today we drove to Hermit Island, a campground in midcoast Maine. Our campsite is in the woods in the middle of the small island. We pitched our tent and then went to Anna's Water's Edge Restaurant. The restaurant was full, so we ate outside, which worked out perfectly. Alistair ran around until our food was ready and he was interested in looking at the ocean.

We picked up some firewood at a little roadside stand and then headed back to our campsite. While Colin started the campfire, Alyssa took Alistair for a walk. Alistair saw "One, two, three five deer." (Really only three deer, but if you ask him how many, he always responds "One, two, three, five.") When the fire was ready, we made s'mores. Alistair didn't like the chocolate, but happily ate a couple of graham crackers.

Alistair was too excited to be in the tent to sleep. He literally bounced off the walls until we got into our sleeping bags and went to sleep in between us.
