On our last day in Acadia, Daniel and I got up at 4:00 in the morning to go see the sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain.  It's the highest / easternmost point in America, so we were  the first people in the United States to see the sun rise that morning.  Along with the hundred other people that were there, that is.

Daniel took these pictures (except for the one with him in it).

We went on a kayaking tour around Southwest Harbor.  We paddled about 6 1/2 miles.

We all hiked from our camp site at the Blackwoods camp ground to the top of Cadillac Mountain and back on the South Ridge Trail (about 8 miles).  Daniel took a bunch of pictures.

For Karen's birthday (coming up on Thursday), we took the boys and went hiking on some trails around Harper Creek in the Wilson Creek area.  We did about 6 miles, and it was a blast.  The trail included a bunch of creek crossings and Sean and Daniel had a great time looking for and catching crawfish, salamanders, and newts.  I caught a Northern Water Snake at the falls.
