Rangeley

We have had this weekend with the Siemen family planned for 6 months. With lacrosse & t-ball  keeping our life super hectic, it was such a fabulous weekend to get away and get off the grid!

 

On our way to Rangeley State Park, we stopped at Height of the Land to take in some views!

When we got to our campsite, we roasted hot dogs over the fire for a true camping experience!  

 

Peter got up at 4am to go on his first fishing trip with Pete & Ben.. it paid off, he got a fish!!

We took a hike to cascade falls gorge...

After lunch we decided to head out on Rangeley Lake for the families to take turns going for a boat ride. Ben, Bethany & the girls went first.

Our family selfie on the boat!

Enjoying being at our waterfront camp site after dinner....

Pete got a bug bite on our hike and woke up Sunday morning like this!

 Packing up.... A great weekend for us!!

 

Fire Pit Project

Now that we finally have a backyard again, we knew we wanted to build a permeate fire pit. One afternoon during our vacation, we decided it was time!





Pete went to Home Depot and bought all the stones.

Pete's parents had just made a round  one, so I assumed that is what we would build. He came back with the brochure showing what he thought we should make. I loved it!

Our "helpers"

First he laid out the stones to see where exactly he wanted to place it in the yard.

He then cut out the grass.

He then added paver stone to keep the stones level when he placed them.

Took less then an hour to build and excited it's done! Total cost of this project..$118.00

We love having it! Many S'mores have already been made!
