We had never seen sand dunes like this at Pacific Beach.

The sand was blowing good while we were there.

Suzi took the kids for a walk on the beach.

This is what happens when you play on the beach. Fellow campers were making coments about her, such as wow, that dog is sure zonked out...

Meanwhile this is what the inside of the camper looked like.

Gator and Bailey got to have their first trip to the ocean! The outside shower came in handy. I think they had a bit of sensory overload when we arrived. They forgot everything they learned, and ran from one neat smelling thing to another. Broken crab parts were their favorite.

Ginger and Sam had fun too!

We went to Pacific Beach State park.

This is Natasha's new hobbie. She cases her pet crow into the tree. Then the crow gets back on the ground so it can be chased by Natasha again. What fun...

This is Joe and Carisha's newest family member. It is a water dragon named Velcro, because it sticks to everything.

Velcro was sick, not eating, and had so much cruddies in it's eye lids that they were sealed shut when she/he arrived. Carisha has nursed Velcro back to health. at 2 1/2 feet Velcro is about as big as she is supposed to get they are supposed to be 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, the length is mostly tail.

We took the puppies (all 4 of them) for a quick overnight camping trip last weekend.
We stopped at one of our favorite spots on Keechelus Lake. Much to our surprise the lake was higher than we had ever seen! The road ended near the picnick area.



We took the little ones on their first short hike.


The lake behind our camper is normally dry with old growth cedar stumps from logging. (this is the lake that I-90 goes along at the top of Snoqualmie pass)
Gator and Bailey had a great time!

All the puppies settled in and slept well that night.


Ginger has her special spot on the top bunk.

The puppies have fun in the back yard.

They catch a mole, then play keep away using the log in the yard as a climbing/balancing device.

Here is a better shot of Bailey loving her Louis Cat. Gator is facinated by this love fest...


Bailey loves Louis. A bit blury, but cute not the less.

Hi, Ginger here, just wanted to show you all what I have been putting up with... sigh...

They took the kids to the vet for their second set of shots. Gator weighed in at 16.6 lbs.

And Little Miss Bailey our resident drama queen came in at 18lbs.

This is what happens after a day on the farm in ID.

Family in ID note family members around the feet...

Ginger cool...

Carol's future goats... ;)



and sheep too! :)

Yesterday I saw a doe that looked ready to pop. Today I saw this: :)

We got to meet Zoey Kim's great neice while away. She is 4 mos old. Ginger and Gator were especially facinated.

Took the puppies on their first roadtrip. They got a glimps of dirty snow for the first time. They were preoccupied with running with Sam though.
