Friday morning after some blueberry pancakes we took a carriage ride through lovely Acadia National Park. Max didn’t let a little rain get in the way of his fun.  
|
At the carriage house, Max enjoyed waving to the horses.  
|
We drove up to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the Atlantic Coast. Max liked standing on this ledge and looking at the map of the surrounding mountains.  
|
We loved the hazy but amazing views.  
|
We found out that Max takes more after Brittney’s family than he does Mark because he loves to hike. He wanted to walk all around the mountain.
|
And walk. 
|
And walk some more. 
|
| He had a few near-wipeouts (and got a little scraped up), but he just laughed and got up and kept walking. |

That was a lot of hiking!
|
Taking a break on Daddy’s shoulders.   |
Post-hike we ate some seafood and popovers at the Jordan Pond House on lovely Bubble Pond. 
|
Back on Daddy’s shoulders. 
|
After Max’s nap we went to Echo Lake, but the water was a little cold so Max preferred watching from the lifeguard tower instead of swimming.
|
We had another lobster dinner, this time right on the dock. 
|
Mark was hoping for a 5 lb female, but we had to settle for the biggest lobsters they had – 1 ¾ lbs male. Big enough to share with Max.  
|
Max liked looking at the harbor from the window ledge.
|
|
Max wanted to do a little more walking. Video of Max hiking up some stairs |
Back in Bar Harbor, we had some blueberry ice cream, listened to a bag piper, then headed back to the hotel room where we enjoyed this lovely view of the sunset.
|
| While the boys slept, Brittney snuck out for some square dancing at the local library which Mark was devastated to miss. A long, full, fun day. |
| We know what you’re thinking, why didn’t they take more photos? Don’t worry, more pictures from the final day of the trip coming soon. |
