Sam took a nap when we got home, and when she woke up we headed to the bike path for a short run. My original plan had been to run 7 to 8 miles before breakfast, but that just didn't happen, so I decided to run with Ryan today, and just do the longer run tomorrow. We had a nice easy 3 mile run, and then came home and after a quick snack, suited up for outing #3 of the day. The plan was to head over to Wolfe's Neck State Park in Freeport for a short hike, but Sam fell asleep on the ride over, so we drove around for a while first. By the time we got to the park, the day, which had been so bright and beautiful, was looking awfully foggy. The whole coast was socked in with a nice, thick and cool fog. Luckily, we had brought a jacket for Sam, but I was cold the whole time we were out walking. There must have been a 15 degree difference between Brunswick and in the park out near the water - crazy!
Anyway, we really enjoyed our walk. The woods were beautiful - lots of ladyslippers (I was too busy entertaining Sam and enjoying the views to count!), a number of jack-in-the-pulpits, bunchberries, starflowers, trailing arbutus and false lily of the valley - and the trails were really nice. There were numerous chances to head down to the rocky ledges and small beaches, as well as lots of picnic tables and a nice, grassy area where we stopped to let Sam stretch out on the blanket before we got back in the car. We couldn't believe we hadn't been out to explore the park and its trails before! We'll certainly be back!
Here are just a few shots from our excursion:
You're funny!

What a wonderful day! All the photos are great, but I love the tongue shot and the one of you two girl talking :)
Thanks Valerie! I love those too :-)
Hmmnn...it looks like Sam is handing you a ring of keys, is she sugjesting it is time to hit the road? It's like she is saying "ok, you can drive this time" What a smart girl!
