York Beach

Saturday we decided to meet up with Dathan and Kellie for our last summer get together. Dathan will be going to India and then winter will be coming so might be harder to meet up. We decided to go to York Beach, which is close to the Maine/New Hampshire border. We had heard from our friends that it was a fun beach. They had a nice playground right on the beach for the kids to play and tons of little shops. The water was pretty cold so no one really got in...except for Brayden who couldn't pass up playing in the waves. It was about 73 degrees with a nice breeze so it was perfect!
While on the playground there was an african-american guy that Craig and I both noticed. He had ripped arms, wearing a NC jersey, and had on a LA dodgers hat. When I first saw him I thought-he's gotta be a sports player. Craig came up to me and said he was thinking the same thing! Then it really gave it away that he had a NFL shield tattoo on the back of one of those ripped arms. He followed us over to the beach area and we all just sat and watched him trying to guess who he was, or what is life story was (he was there with his 2 kids alone) As we were people watching and laughing we noticed some lady go up to him and shake his hand. WE KNEW IT. Craig asked the lady when she left, and in a round-about way she told us he played for the New England Patriots and was "in cognito" We were too chicken and didn't want to bug him to go up and ask for his name. We still to this day are stumped who he was. Some other guy went up to talk to him and the guy said his name was Marlon Evans. I googled it and can't find it. I don't know if he gave a "fake" name. At least he gave us some fun by guessing who he was. We gave him fun by not bugging him.
We ended the night by going through some of the shops and eating some yummy Mexican at a costa-vida type restaurant. We had so much fun with them :) We're glad we have some family close to hang out with. Here are some pics of the day:
