Weekend of Fun at Wolfe's Neck

This was the 5th annual Bowdoin Recompense camping weekend, and yet again, it was a ton of fun to catch up with friends, go running on the trails and roads we used to run on in college, hang out around the fire, laugh, talk, drink, eat, explore the beach, let the kids run wild and in general, have a great time together! Most of the time, the phone was tucked away but I did get a few good captures of the weekend :)

Sam kicked off the long weekend with camp carnival, her last day at Y camp, and arrived at the campground with this fun face painting! :)

Great Blue Heron in the still waters

Adam taking it all in

This wake-up view is none too shabby ;)

Had a great 16 mile road/trail run with friends on Saturday morning, and Ryan was even able to join in for the final 10 miles!

Wolfe's Neck view

Cool view out into South Freeport harbor along the Wolfe's Neck trails

Not too bad of a running route view!

After lunch, Doug, Nate, Shannon and I took the kids on a walk through the campground - the 2 miles took quite a long time as there was a beach stop plus a stop up at the snack shack for ice cream ;)

Shoreline exploration

Sam loves Maya

Love seeing the kids hang out together

There was some afternoon shenanigans

Peyron is such a good sport ;)

Such fun

Love these photos!

After dinner, Sam, Ryan and I took a walk along the beach

Tidal pool fun

Low tide

Vicky, Maya, Sam and I walked down to the other rock outcropping to catch the sunset. We didn't quite get the full effect but still lovely!

On the rocks

Sunday morning, I headed out for a solo 8+ miler, running the trails through Wolfe's Neck and then down the road with a short side trail exploration out to Rachel's Cove and this vista

Nice view

On the running front, I didn't quite get in the miles I had hoped for on Saturday but I haven't quite kicked this cold and that seemed like enough. Still, with Sunday's miles, I managed to hit 50 miles on the nose for the week, so not too terrible. And of course, all the time with friends was such fun, and we lucked out with perfect weather too! A great weekend!!
