Well today is our last Saturday in Maine for this summer, so our host mummy and daddy (Frank and JoAnn Griffin) took us to Portland for the day and we went on the Lucky Catch which is a Lobster boat that takes people out and lets them join in the lobstering. By the way those from back home expecting to see your loved ones, well tough, this is an US US US blog!!!!
