Fall Break in Maine Day 3

Monday, oh what to do? Mom thought today would be a good day to go to the beach. There is one thing I don't like about living in Tennessee its not a beach state...I love the look, sound and feel of the beach! We went to Grammie and Grandpa's house first, we would hang out here for a little and then see if they wanted to join us. The kids went on a leaf hunt. One thing is for sure the leaves here are gorgeous, much more so than at home. Grandpa wanted to take the kids for a ride on his "tractor" which the kids were really excited about. When Grandpa opened the garage and the kids saw it, one of them said, "that's not a tractor that's a lawn mower!" But they were happy nonetheless. Grandpa let the boys drive him around Tanner did a very good job, Tyler was a little bit all over the place.
Grammie and Grandpa decided to join us on the trip to beach. We planned on going to Long Beach which is close to a lighthouse. It was so pretty...I thought it might be chilly, but it wasn't all that bad, I didn't need my jacket.
The kids didn't know if they wanted to stick their feet in the water so I kind of just drug them out there!
There were pieces of crab on the beach and so Tyler picked on up and looked at it!
You could actually see Nubble Light from Long Beach, which is where we headed to next.
Grammie and Grandpa got out of the car for a couple pictures...here we have 4 generations...it was actually not but a couple years ago that my great grandmother passed away and we had 5 generations together.
After stopping at Nubble Light we passed a playground right on the beach of Short Beach. This was a super nice/new playground and the kids enjoyed it!

After hanging out at the beach we headed to dinner...where we ended up at Billy's Crab Shack and enjoyed some New England seafood. What a great day at the beach!
