More vacation fun... I told you, NEVER ENDING! This is our hike around Jordan Pond, that started out on the Carriage Bridges. The funniest part of the whole thing was CARLY... as soon as we got out of the car, I turned around and saw her doing this:
You know, stretching before our BIG hike. Like she knows what she's doing. In her defense, she's a SWIMMER. Walking makes her complain.
Lovely Jordan Pond... this is the view you see from the back lawn of the famous Jordan Pond House. We hiked around this pond, about 3 miles.
The Carriage Bridges. They are a big deal around Acadia National Park. There are about 17 of them all over the park. Don't quote me on that, but you can google it if you want.
These trails are great for walking, biking, and of course, taking a horse-drawn carriage ride. We walked. Obviously. We left the horses at home.
Beautiful Nature along the way...
Then we got adventurous and decided to hike CLOSER to the pond, and make our way around that way... This meant hiking down into steep, rocky woods...
We WERE on TOP of this Carriage Bridge and never even knew how pretty it was until we started hiking DOWN... the view from the top looks like a road, but underneath, it's a different story...
Hard to believe Little Miss only tripped 2 times... and WITHOUT tears! That stretching REALLY paid off, huh?!!?
Love this picture of Ryan helping Amanda.
Yes, that is Ryan hiking with a book.

At the bottom, and ready to hike around the last 1/2 of the lake... This is the opposite side of the first pictures...
Beaver dam...
Laurie and Tim walking on the path...
These would the the rocks the kids were hiding behind and jumping out and scaring people. Nice.
