Kennebunkport and the red apple campground

So, we are having such a hard time keeping up with our blog posts because we don't want to overdo the posts but we don't want to forget everything we have done so we are doing our best to keep up.

After leaving Acadia, we headed south to Kennebunkport, Maine which is a darling little town that we liked a lot.  The history of the area, the beautiful old homes, the cute shops, the beach...we loved it.  Taking a step back though, we had not made campground reservations for Kennebunkport so on our way there, we jumped on-line and looked at our options.  We knew we wanted a place that was close to downtown and the first campground we came across looked pretty good and they had availability so we booked two nights there and RED APPLE CAMPGROUND, here we come!  We checked in and got ourselves settled and noticed a couple of old guys setting up some speakers.  We found out they have music every Tuesday night by the hammocks and we were not far at all from them so we thought that it might be fun to hear some music during dinner.  They started warming up about 45 minutes before their scheduled concert and we were busy BBQ'ing our dinner and I hear over the mike, "BABABABABABA" and "Diarreah, Diarreah" and the girls start giggling.  Now, I am known to get the giggles from time to time that I have a hard time stopping and they started in.  All Aaron remembers is "old bitty's in muu-muu's, Wilfred Brimley on the mike and the song "Mountain of Love."  They then launched into a medley of oldies that ranged from Elvis Presley to Credence Clearwater Revival.  It pretty much was Karaoke for 70 year olds...hilarious!  Bruce & Al were awesome and the girls loved listening to them and making friends with Omer, Nelson, Patsy, and Lucille.  From our new friends, we learned that Wednesday night is BINGO night and the girls were determined to make that get together.  We played BINGO and none of us won anything.  But we now know that Betty's surgery went well and we answered a trivia question and won a lottery ticket for $73 million which we did not win but from that, we got to explain to the girls what the lottery is and they daydreamed what $73 million could get them...lots of legos and american girls and donkeys.  :)

Wednesday was filled with the Trolley Museum, downtown Kennebunkport, and a trip to Mother's beach for some body surfing and frisbee tossing.

I mean, come on, look at this place!  Gorg!

This was a vintage ad in one of the trolley's and this lady reminded me of my grandma.

Mother's Beach...

We left Kennebunkport and headed into Jersey City and Manhattan for 3 very FULL days and I think we all want to blog seperately on our experience there.  So, that is coming up next.  We head out tomorrow to Savannah, Georgia for a few days and then on to Atlanta.  

Love to you all - the Cato Tornado
