Kayaking at Bailey Island

      So today we went kayaking at Bailey Island. It was such a beautiful day and no one had school or work or anything. When we first found out we were going to move to Maine (because of my dad's job), we came up for vacation to start looking around at houses and where we wanted to live and so on. During our vacation we rented a cabin on Bailey Island to stay in while we looked around at Maine. Today was the first time we have been back there since that vacation (not that we don't like the place, it's just out of the way). Anyway, back to kayaking. We unloaded the kayaks and put them in the water. 

Gus and Lydia find out the water is cold

      I was in the orange kayak (yay!) with my little sister Lydia. And we started paddling. Didn't take me long to figure out how bad of shape my arms were in. I haven't been working out (oops). 
     While we were kayaking we saw hundreds of thousands of white/clear jellyfish. 

This was the best picture I could get. I don't know what kind of jellyfish they were either. They either didn't have tentacles or else they were thin and translucent.

There were so many! I would not want to fall in. Then we headed for the islands surrounding Bailey Island (Bailey is large and there are small islands around it that are only big enough for one or two houses, if that). 

     My arms were so tired about.... 20 minutes into it that I had to be towed... haha.

My mommy. :)

There were some really pretty flowers in the woods but I don't know what they were. They look like stars.

Hungry? Have a dish of Jellyfish!

Birds are messy eaters. never clean up the packaging from their  happy meals.
