Lobsterfest 2011 - Day Two

We started our second day at a relaxing pace, having a wonderful breakfast of homemade blueberry cake and hot beverages while catching up with our hosts. We sat outside and enjoyed watching the dogs romping around the barn while waiting for the arrival of two more friends and their dogs. The warm sun eased away any ideas we had about sightseeing that morning.


Once Patty and Elaine arrived with Jack and M.O.E., we got down to the serious business of doing absolutely nothing productive.

And for those of you who think I'm a nutjob for letting Carter sit in my lap... 

It's A Setter Thing.

Greg with Lucky.

Pat with Eden.

Patty with Jack.

Mind you, it's not all fun and games with the setters. There are some consequences to running around in the sun and having fun. Like drool....

The arrival of Leo Lin and his family indicated the start of some serious cooking. Leo whipped up a batch of Chinese peppered pork and noodles (under Greg's watchful eye) which we devoured along with grilled steak. And the ever-present mah-garitas. My stomach's growling just thinking about this.

After stuffing ourselves and lounging around while trading gossip and news, we decided it would be a great time to run up to Old Orchard Beach and let the dogs check out the ocean. 

Jack dived right in; he LOVED the surf!

Tucker? Not so much.

Moe wasn't super convinced either. He did, however, pose pretty once he was safely away from the encroaching waves.

REALLY enjoying the sand between our toes. LtoR: Elaine, Patty, Pat, and Karin.

Leo and Karin's daughter, Laura, and her friend Holly, were quite a bit braver than we were.

When everybody was satisfyingly tired, damp, and sandy, we returned to the farm to collapse and cuddle setters. What a great second day!!
