Excursion #2
Cape Elizabeth, Maine for my cousin Lavena's wedding to Tucker Jordan. I love love love going to Maine! The whole family, all 5 of us smooshed into one car and tackled the 9 hour drive. All the aunts and uncles on that side of the family (the Fraser side) came to celebrate Lavena's big day. My family is big, welcoming, passionate, and blessed beyond words... and a pretty dang good looking bunch too :)
just a handful of the beautiful ladies of the fam!
This trip I finally faced one of my fears... LOBSTERS!
yep, that's right, I am was afraid of lobsters. This was thanks to my dad... when I was little he traumatized me into believing that lobsters were giant spiders. Even to this day I try as hard as I can to avoid walking passed the lobster tanks at Wegmans. Since I was in Maine and the groom is a lobsterman, I figured if I am going to face my fear I might as well go big or go home & do it right. Fresh Maine lobster was on the menu for the reception.
As I picked up the lobster to take a picture with it, it's claw fell right off... as it fell my cousin Gen yelled, "its alive!!" Needless to say I nearly jumped out of my seat and threw the lobster across the table. By the time I had finally figured out how to eat that poor thing I had pretty much massacred it.
Fear officially faced!!
Fear officially faced!!
Here are just a few more of my lovely family...
My lovely siblings... who would have ever thought we'd turn out to be such great friends??!
AND of course no trip to Maine is complete without a jump off the high cliff at DeepHole, even if the water is below 40 degrees!
