maine vacation ~ thunder hole

Our next stop on the Acadia National Park Loop Road was Thunder Hole. This was a very popular sight where you could see waves crashing in among the rocks.


You could even walk right down to the ocean's edge to get splashed by the waves. You had to really walk carefully though as the rocks were really slippery. When the right size wave barrelled into the rocks, you could hear a loud thunderous sound.


However, the night before we went to the Acadia National Park, a huge storm rolled through at the cottage we were staying in, and nothing could compare to the very loud booms of thunder and crashes of lightning we heard that night. (As a side note, the storm at the cottage woke all of our kids up to the point where our entire family of five slept in our bed the rest of the night. Can I just say, thank you for a king-sized bed?!?!) Still, Levi and Ivy didn't particularly care for the thunderous ocean waves.

Letty and Owen seemed to enjoy watching the waves.


The area was very beautiful. It was just amazing to see how God made this world so very different in many areas of the country, and it was amazing to just think about the awesome power of the waves and knowing that the waves' power doesn't even compare to the awesome power and love that our Lord possesses.


Of course, we had to pose for some family pictures, too.
