Before heading off to Washington State to spend a few weeks with Jordan's folks, the kids did their best to keep themselves occupied. They attended marine biology, art, lego robotics and other similarly themed camps, and they enjoyed some of the local festivities. These events included Margaretta Day (a celebration of Machias' participation in the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War), Puckerbrush (a gathering of people who embrace primitive skills), and the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival (where Annabel dressed as a lobster to help sell lobster rolls for her trip to France next summer).
At Puckerbrush, Thane honed his archery skills, and then spent a few hours turning a willow branch into a hand made bow.
Annabel preferred to get her hands dirty by molding local Machiasport clay into pottery. She also enjoyed hand forging an iron hook.
But mostly the kids looked for endless ways to stay cool.
