Jackson the Lobsterman: Pleasant Beach / Archers Restaurant / Levi on the Lobster Boat!!

Sunday, I had my usual day off, since we can not haul on Sunday. I asked Aunt Pennie if she needed help at the Library Sunday because it was Heritage Day. The Library used to be a schoolhouse, and it turned 200 Years old, so Herritage Day was celebrating Herritage of the schoolhouse. They were going to have a band play at a nearby park at 1:30 PM, and a lot of people would be there. She was also going to give a short speech before the band performance.

Aunt Pennie said she would like help, and she said we would leave at 11:30 AM to get to the Library. I played on my Laptop until 11:30 AM, then Levi and I went with Aunt Pennie to the Library. Once we got there, I helped Aunt Pennie and some other people set up a tent outside of the Library in the front. It was pretty easy to set up, and it looked cool after it was up. I walked LuLu around outside, then Levi and I walked up to the Keag house where my Mom was. We had a surprise gift for Aunt Pennie, which was a new Smart TV, so we took it to the house while Aunt Pennie was at the Library so I could set it up. I figured it all out, and it worked well. We took LuLu with us so Aunt Pennie did not have to watch her.

My Mom wanted to go to Pleasant Beach and walk around, it is a cool beach that has a lot of rocks you can climb while you walk around the beach. I got to drive the BMW from Aunt Pennies house to Pleasant Beach, which is only like a half a mile away.

We got there, and got out, and got some pictures by the nearby beach. When we came to Maine in the past, I remember that we rented a house right next to this beach, because I remember swimming on this exact beach.

Then we continued to walk around Pleasant Beach. It is all walking on rocks, not sand, so LuLu had to do a lot of work walking on all of the rocks, and sometimes I had to pick her up to rocks she could not jump to. We walked a really far way around on the rocks. We took a lot of cool pictures.

Once we got to this split rock that you see Levi standing on below, we stopped and took a break. We walked around for a bit, then headed back, LuLu was really tired, but we got back to the car, and I got to drive the car home again.

Once we got home, I got LuLu a brand new bowl of water, because I could tell she was very thirsty. I think she appreciated the water. After that adventure, we waited until Aunt Pennie got home so we could surprise her with the brand new Smart TV. She eventually got home, and we showed her the new TV and she loved it. I showed her how to play YouTube videos on her TV from her iPad.

For dinner Sunday night, my Mom had reservations for us at Archers, which is a restaurant in Rockland. We drove the BMW to the restaurant, and I decided to get the Archers Burger. We got these really good boneless chicken wings for a starter, and once my burger came, I could not finish it. Plus, it was way bigger than I thought it would be.

It came with Onion strings on it which I thought was really cool. I only finished about half of it in the end. On the way home, we stopped at the Library to take down the tent that we set up earlier today.

After that, I drove home from the Library. I was back to work Monday, and my last day was Wednesday so I only had 3 more days. Sunday night, we ordered my new MacBook Pro from the Apple Education website that I was going to use next year in Ireland, and probably for many years to come. I got the 15 inch MacBook Pro with 256 Gigs of Storage. I had done a ton of research before we chose to get that Laptop and I was happy that we chose that one. It will last a very long time. I went to bed after that around 10:00 PM.

Monday morning, we planned to come in around 1:30 PM to pick up Levi so that he could come out on the boat and haul some traps with us for his last day. I packed a half of a sandwich since I thought it would be a bit of a later day than usual, and 2 crackers. It was not foggy at all, and once the sun had risen, it was very sunny. We were going through the traps fairly fast, we would get a lot in some, and none in the others, and we would just go through them. We ended up getting done before Noon, so when we got back into the Wharf, I tried to call my mom to tell her that Levi should come down to the boat now to go out. She did not pick up, so Uncle Art just put the boat back on the Wharf, and we went home.

They showed up eventually, then Levi got his clothes on, and we drove back down and went out on the boat to haul another 25 traps or so. Levi threw back a lot of the short lobsters that we could not keep. He also helped with dumping the old bait out over the side of the boat. We were hauling by the rocks, and we were getting a ton of lobsters. We were getting so many old shells also. We probably got 30 Lbs. of old shells in those 25 traps only. Levi helped to band the lobsters also, I made him hold the lobsters some of the time. We were so surprised by how many lobsters we were getting. After the 20 traps or so, we probably had 115 Lbs. which is very good. We went back into the Wharf and unloaded the lobsters. Then, while Uncle Art went back to park the boat, Levi and I went over to McLoons so that I could get a burger for lunch. It was delicious, just like the last time I went there.

Aunt Pennie and my Mom were in the Wharf house when we went back over to the Wharf, and there were 2 cute puppies in the house. They were Terry's puppies, and they were very small, you could pick one up with one hand. We got a lot of pictures with them, they were incredibly cute.
