Canoeing up Bowley Brook
Ryan and Alex canoeing up Bowley Brook to help build Tyler's dam so he could kayak on the rapids formed from the power of the water. If this doesn't make any sense, you don't know Tyler Kent.
Peter... gone...
Happy on his tube behind the boat, Peter was sailing along with Tyler Kent at the wheel...and then Bam! there he was... GONE! (Look closely at the enlarged photo and you may see a small part of Peter... and yes, Mom Mette, it was still attached to the rest of his body.)

The Great American Supermarket Pastry Taste Test by Alexander Szeps.....
Well, the truth is, it looked good in the supermarket but failed the taste test....
UMaine Fitness Center
After working in Rich's office and lunch at the Student Union, Peter and Alex spent 2.5 hours at the UMaine Fitness center swimming, lifting, playing soccer, and sauna(ing) [is that a word?].
The Mall at the University of Maine in Orono
After lugging furniture for Rich into his new office at UM....
Peter & Alex meet Aunt Connie
Peter and Alex met Aunt Connie at Rich's on Monday--Uncle Ben was at work. Connie and Ben Venskus--whose own adult sons reside in Massachusetts--live four houses up the street from 728 Prospect. Connie and Ben look forward to attending the guy's soccer matches over the next couple of months and to hosting the boys on Monday and Tuesday nights while Rich is at The University.

Alexander & Peter Day One...we have arrived.
After a long drive from Connecticut to Maine with former host parents Lolly & Paul Scannell, Alexander & Peter landed at the home of Gloria and David Breton, also long-time YFU host parents. There they met up with Rich and headed back to 728 Prospect Avenue, Rumford. The boys settled into their room, watched the Red Sox kick the White Sox all around the baseball park, took in some Olympic events, including Michael's Phelps' first Gold Medal performance in swimming, and downed a turkey sandwich and Gatorade. Just before bed at 10:30pm EST, we snapped this photograph. The adventure begins....
