Acadia!

We took advantage of a four-day weekend over Memorial Day to introduce ourselves to Acadia National Park in Maine. It was beautiful! We camped out for 3 nights and didn't shower for 4 days - granted, we could have made an effort to shower but who wanted to waste time doing that when there was so much else to do? We biked, rock climbed and kayaked (no photos from that as it was a little too wet to chance the camera:)

We got up at 4am to drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain to see the sunrise. Cadillac Mountain is the first place in the U.S. to see the sun everyday (as it's the tallest mountain on the eastern shores).
We also went rock climbing right on the ocean! There are few places on the East Coast where you can climb next to the sea, and this was beautiful! We had to rappel down in order to climb up and it's one of those places where you can't climb at high tide...
Clay rappelling...
Larissa climbing...

Praise the Lord for that rope! Doesn't it look fun?
We went biking around the coast...

Check it out! We were inspired by our friends Jenelle and Cameron Lemons to try our hand at making earth art in this tranquil pond we biked around.
Can you see our creation in the water? We tried making a star inside a circle out of the pink granite rocks that are prolific in the area.

Can you see Clay reflected in the glasses?
After a morning of rock climbing, we took time to enjoy the scenery from the cliff...
It's amazing to see the diversity and beauty of God's creation and such a gift for us to enjoy it!
