Did you know real flamingos live to be about 50 years old? I guess I’m glad I’m not a flamingo.

Oak Island light house is really, really, really tall.
“Let’s climb the light house,” we said. “Sounds like fun!” we said. “It’s only 131 steps,” we said. Ha! This goes down as one of the most terrifying and thrilling and exciting and surprisingly dangerous things I’ve done in a long time. I’m surprised they don’t give you climbing gear and a tether. Glad we did it, but boy oh boy I’m happy to be back down at sea level.

A whole summer of hot football leading up to these first games. Proud of all these guys and so thankful for our dedicated coaches. There are lots of Friday Night Lights in our future.

There’s something kind of magical about walking the beach in the moonlight. Somehow my camera knew how to capture this moment so perfectly. #unfiltered

Nothing says summer like a quick dip in 50° water. I can guarantee you we never swam in Swanton Cove on purpose.

Amelia and Finn discovered #seagooseberries. Bioluminescent comb jellies that look like orbies. Thank you @marinequestuncw for introducing them to the undersea world. We also found tiny lobsters that we thought were shrimp. #northcaroliansinmaine

She taught me how to row in this same spot 40 years ago. There’s a less leaky rowboat now and long, strong oars for rowing lessons with our kids. Here’s mom in her happy place doing what she loves most. #maine

As David Foster Wallace's famous essay, Consider the Lobster illustrated, throughout Colonial-era America, the lobster was considered “among the least desirable foods one could put in their face - a garbage meat fit only for the indigent, indentured, and incarcerated.” We wholeheartedly disagree. #lobsterdinner

“Adorned with spruce and fir trees,
Defying wave and rain,
Eternal as the mountains,
The iron coast of Maine.
A coast by inlets broken,
With islands thickly strewn,
As if one time by giants,
‘Twas shattered, carved and hewn.”

Written by my great uncle Henry A. Swanton in 1922. Pictured are my three giants, enjoying Swanton Cove and looking not so giant.

It's not every day that I get to be part of the game! (Watch til the end haha) 😂 fun, hot day today! So proud of these boys - special props to that amazing goalie 😍 for blocking every single attempt. Goose eggs for the win in both games.
