The girls and Matt actually got up at 5:10 am that morning to go see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, but it didn't go as well as they planned. They didn't quite know where to go to watch the sun rise over the ocean.
After they got back, we thought it would be fun to do some hiking and other touristy stuff in the morning and then spend the afternoon in the beach. Everything that looked fun or exciting cost money or was too far away, so we just headed to the beach in the morning. We didn't take our swimsuits or anything, but just let the kids wade in the water in their clothes.

All four kids with their feet in the Atlantic Ocean!!
After we played in the water awhile, we decided to get lunch. A man at our campground recommended a place called "Ramp Up," so we headed over there. Unfortunately, meals were about $15 a person, so we headed to Subway instead. It looks like it would have been a fun place to eat!
Now we were ready to swim in the ocean!! Matt said this was his favorite day of the entire trip!

Courtney's turn. I didn't want more than one kid out there at a time. I wanted him to be able to keep an eye on them.
Micah LOVED chasing the seagulls!
Christian heading out to the water. He stayed near the shore more.
Matt and Courtney built a sandcastle in the afternoon.

Micah by the sandcastle. It was so much fun watching the tide come up over the afternoon. We knew it would soon wreck the sand castle!
The water was coming up, so Christian and Micah started to wreck it.
And that is the end of the sand castle...

Of course, we had to stop at a local establishment for ice cream after our afternoon at the beach. Kennebunkport was famous for their many ice cream places.
After ice cream, we walked around the town a bit. Here is Christian in front of a ship. There was actually a restaurant on the ship.
What a cute little town!
