Scarborough: Part Deux

The McNamaras headed north this weekend for the 2nd Annual convergence on the unpretentious town of Scarborough, Maine home to our beloved Jodi and Kevin and their two children, Riley and Benjamin.  For the second year in a row, the Sheas opened their home to the masses as 5 out of the eight Chatham ladies and their families arrived for some serious bonding and some even more serious lawn games.  There was much laughter and enjoyment on Friday night as the adults feasted on some local, take-out sea fare from Ken's Place while the kids barely stopped for some chicken nuggets and fries before they were off to the play room to put together a "performance" for the older crowd, spearheaded by Meg Reed.  On Saturday, everyone went back for more spending a good five hours at beautiful Pine Point Beach, followed by a yummy dinner and yummy beers at the Sheas.  The kids enjoyed a masterful scavenger hunt and the older folks enjoyed some lively competition in the form of washer toss. Below are some photos from our visit.  In all honesty and with much sincerity, I'm already looking forward to next year.  Those Sheas make it pretty hard to leave...

An unexpected bond: Maeve and Meg Reed (when Maeve was asked on the morning we left Maine, what her favorite memory of being at the beach was, she replied, "Meg.")
