Tuesday was a great day starting with the Branch Pond 5.5 Miler as Jude and I went across 1A and down to the tracks. Goal was not to stop on the way back up and it was achieved. I was a little sore from Zumba the day before. Spent the full day at camp getting ready for GGN arrival. Late afternoon trip to town for a haircut with Marisa and then off to a Charity Zumba to cover medical bills for a young boy. We raised $500 and it was great fun. Jude may be hooked on Zumba as she showed up as well. Christina arrived at camp yesterday and it was great to see her!

Jumping ahead to this morning...started at 4:15 am by stepping on a dead mouse in the kitchen!! Thank goodness I had put on my sneakers before I headed west to Surry to see Ursula. The workout changed the predominant subject in my brain with an 800 meter run (warmup) and then 21-15-9 of squats and burpees! It was a great final session - I improved my time by 4 minutes!

Up at 5AM for my penulitmate personal training session with Ursula :) It took me 24 minutes to complete the workout which was slower than my past ones. This was a 400 meter run followed by squats and then rollups in the counts of 21-15-9 (45 each). I really need to work on my running cadence and she provided some helpful hints. Not quite sure what Wed AM will bring but I have really enjoyed this. Still wondering what the appropriate "tip" is for a personal trainer.

Highlight of the day was seeing the bald eagle on the lake swoop down and catch a fish in its talons and then land over on the rocks in front of Ann's cottage. It was the closest I've ever been to a bald eagle and he was huge and beautiful. (Only regret was no camera!)

2nd Highlight was having the cousins join me for Zumba at the Y ~ we all got a great workout and they said they may come again :) Dinner at Main Camp and the Moore's joined the party for a week's vacation. GGNrs arrive tomorrow!

Had a great visit with the Flanagan family at Camp George from Tuesday night through early Saturday morning. These are just a few of the 500 pictures we took in 3 days. A great time was had by all.

Fort Knox for a visit and we caught a civil war re-enactment. It was a gorgeous day and Kevin, Aunt Ann, Jude, Kathy and I took a drive over to Bucksport. We had hoped to attend the Bucksport Bay Festival but come to find out it was a one day festival and it was all closed up on Sunday! Regardless, we were able to see this at Fort Knox and then have a great drive in lunch on the way back to Ellsworth!

I'm going to try to slowly catch up with my vacation, as the past couple of weeks have been busy and fun!
