The Summer Pictures
There are alot of pictures behind the cut...proceed with caution
Since I don't have pictures from the canoe trip yet, I'll start with some of the rock climbing pics.
Pawtuckaway has three bouldering areas, bouldering being a form of "short" rock climbing where the climbs are difficult but rarely exceed a height of 15 feet or so. It's great because you don't need all the traditional rock climbing equipment and setup and the only safety devices you have are called crashpads, which is what you see on Jim's back in this picture. The three bouldering areas are named Boulder Natural, Blair Woods and the place you see in the picture Round Pond.
Step 1: Get on Rock
This rock was impossible, but here are our pitiful attempts anyways.
We got really stupid and decided to do a really big wall, with our two measley crash pads if we fell near the top of this 25 foot climb...well I don't know what would have happened but it would have sucked. This is Jim's climb
This is mine, near the top of it I managed to get myself in a really awkward position and my right leg started shaking like a motherfuck. Kinda scary...okay really fucking scary but we both made it thank god.
Objects in picture are farther away than they appear.
See that tattoo on his back...yep smart people will recognize it.

At the end of our trip Jim actually died...but thats not a bad way to go.
Alright moving onto the Maine trip, I'd like to make a note that I missed the fun day of Friday, while everyone else was tubing, rope swinging and rock jumping I was landscaping...sigh.
So we have this family there that we visit. We used to live in Maine and our families grew up together, they have a girl my sisters age named Kristie and a boy a couple of years older than I. They also have a mansion on little sebago lake, this is their beach. Okay its not a mansion but its a really big fuckin house.
This is their sailboat, which was new to us. They also have a speed boat, canoe, fishing boat and jet ski.
The grandma with the baby boy, I like this picture.
Chris and Mike suitin up for tubing.
Takin off
My favorite picture of the whole bunch.
Kurt, Siobhan and Kristie on the tube.
Mike and Shevy being retawdid
The Rope Swing
Apparently Mike was doing backflips.
And I'm fairly certain thats Chris setting up to do an assplant.
This I call the graffiti rock, which is randomly out in the lake and what you do is climb up and...ready for this?...jump off!
And you can imagine I wasn't too happy that I missed the climb.
I don't know why this isn't with the other tubing pics but I just thought their faces were funny...even if they're barely in the picture.
And now the pictures you've all been waiting for...thats right, the baby boy.
cute as hell
I told him to show us his serious side instead of the regular cuteness
And he did, then I told him to get even more serious...and it scared me.
Issac and Shev with me.
We swam out to an island that was a half a mile from the shore, thats me standing in the water, they have a rock bar like 40 feet from the beach, the house on the right is the one we stayed at.
Since I'm not that great of a swimmer I decided to shed a bit of extra weight I was carrying.
Swimming..I think 5 of us swam out.
After the swim, winded and enjoying the gripping sensation of my soaked boxer briefs.
Chris on the trip back.
I told you I was F'in tan.
Thats all for now...go summer
