double trouble

Cousins Binbin and Ronan are meeting each other for the first time! The au courant L.A. cousin, Ronan, arrived late Thursday night. Bleary-eyed parents coped with last-minute hassles from Delta (flight change, lost bag), while Ronan smiled amiably and fell asleep in the car ride from the Portland jetport to Lisbon Falls.

Friday was spent primarily recovering from the traveling, but we did venture to the Brunswick farmers' market for blueberries and corn, broccoli and three-berry pie. Yum-yum!

We had a big adventure Saturday. Mid-morning, we breakfasted at our favorite diner, Kopper Kettle. Here are some snapshots. Binbin always orders the fruit with yogurt, and he's becoming quite skilled in digging out the fruit he likes best: peach.



Cousin Ronan looks around wondering when his dish will come in.



In the afternoon, we went to Popham Beach at low tide, which was lots of fun for everyone. Pictures are on a different camera, so stay tuned (or check our "sister site" at kanddsessions.blogspot.com)

Some more pictures from today (Sunday) include Binbin and Baba after wading in Casco Bay, where we hiked in Wolfe's Neck State Park.



Here, Ronan dons Kevin's shades in the parking lot.



In the evening, we read picture books, but tonight Binbin decided that he would "read" Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to Baba.



One final note: for those of you who are hoping to see a picture of the two cousins together, you have a better chance of catching a fly with chopsticks. But, we'll call upon Debbie's expertise with photoshop sometime after they return to L.A. and recover from this trip!
