Last Sunday (8th?) we took the kids to the Maine Wildlife Park for the big local Pow Wow. It was quite an experience browsing through the many animal skins for sale, as well as dreamcatchers, beads, stones, outfits, feathers and many other things Native American.
There was singing, drumming and dancing, which we joined in with (went in through the wrong door/gate oops). I have a video which I'll try to upload.
We bumped into Andy and Jen Peacock and their kids, always nice to see them and not just to hear a British accent ;-)
The moose wasn't completely hiding away, and the cougars were out and about, but most of the other animals like woodchucks were well hidden.
We only did an afternoon there, and were glad not to have gone earlier - the car park was the most full I've ever seen it.
Oh and beforehand we had the uniquely Maine experience of eating at Cole Farms in Gray. Whenever I eat in a place like that I figure you should play to their strengths, so I had a lobster roll and Mike had fried chicken. The children had their first proper red hot dogs since we've been here. It was really cheap and filled the gap!
