Tuesday, August 5th - Part II

Well, we didn't make it to Acadia to bike yesterday. Anthony took a very good nap, so we didn't feel like we had a large enough block of time to devote to the ride we want to do in the park. So instead, we hit the local brewery - Atlantic Brewing Company - for a tasting. The beer was awesome, the weather was perfect, and the kiddie accommodations were top-notch, so we decided to hang out for a while. The place was complete with a large fleet of Tonka trucks, lots of rocks, and little kids that Anthony enjoyed playing with.

We really enjoyed ourselves there - all three of us. One of the kids really took to Anthony and vice versa. It was so fun to watch the two of them "play." The other kid was 4 1/2 though which meant that Anthony was enamored with him (since he was older and cooler) but wasn't too much of a conversationalist. The other kid didn't seem to mind though. After trying really hard to engage Anthony in conversation, he finally asked Anthony, "Do you talk?" No answer. Again, "Do you talk?" No answer. I finally jumped in (I was trying to stay out of their interactions up until that point) and said, "Well, Anthony's only 2, so he's still learning how to talk." "Oh okay. Hmmmm. Does he have a brain?" Gotta love childrens' naivety.

Here are some pics from our afternoon:


And I'm happy to report that we did indeed get to enjoy a campfire last night!
