Near the summer's end, SMU's cross-country team camped on our property for a week to be close to the Capital State Forest and all the trail-running. Karen and I made a huge "Run Fast Saints" poster to display on the back porch where the college athletes ate their meals. We are their #1 fans!
Papa and Mama had team meetings, running sessions, and goal setting in our front yard between the runs.
We loved having the college athletes play with us during their free time!
I hung out with Jasper in his hammock during a very competitive whiffle ball game in our front field.
Midway through camp we went to the WA coast. Karen and I played while the athletes ran barefoot in the sand and did their core routine.
Karen loved playing football with Jasper.
The Saints helped us build a huge sand pirate ship.
We had a blast playing in it until the waves/tide came in to destroy it.
We ended our time at the coast doing our annual "trash clean up" along the beach.
We can't wait until next summer's XC camp!! We are very fortunate to have a great group of college athletes to work with (and play with)!
Looks like a great camp! What fun. I truly appreciate the litter pickup, too, and my mom and Grandpa Gordon would be proud. Big hugs!
