Mowing the Lawn...or not...

Mama took these photos back around the 1st of July...but she wanted to make sure you saw them. We got all ready to mow the lawn - mama made me put on long pants and then to be extra safe these swimming goggles, because we didn't have any other protective eye guards for me.
So I was all excited and ready to help Mama with the yard...and then we couldn't get the mower to start!

It was very frustrating...

I was so sad and disappointed...

...but then Mama thought of something else fun to do, while we waited for the lawn mower to "cooperate"...eventually it did, you'll be happy to know.

New Boat!

Hey check this out! This was this afternoon!

Back to the Present - Bongo the Seafarin' Dog

Mama and I took these photos just 5 or so minutes ago. She got us this cool inflatable boat with oars and everything (but we have no pump to fill it up yet) and also a super awesome orange life vest that just looks FABulous on Bongo...check it out!

Next Morning - Making Hot Chocolate

After a really fun first night, we got up the next morning and made hot CHOCOLATE...in the MORNING!

The chef bundled up and slavin' (haha) away at the camp stove.

The sous-chef giving cooking advice and trying to sample the recipe.

The camp cantina...me waiting patiently.

Woo hoo for HOT CHOCOLATE!

Camping Back in May - Moran State Park

This set is from our first day camping at Moran State Park on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands, just north and west of Seattle.

The park entrance on a beautiful Pacific Northwest Day!

Sitting down for "hamburgies" and avocado...YUM!

Sporting cousin Ezzie's hat and savoring delicious meat!

After dinner we went for a walk down by the lake.

There's water under my feet!!!

Picture of the "boat dock" where you can rent canoes, rowboats, and paddle boats (taken from the "fishing dock" that you'll see on the next picture).

This is the fishing dock where later in the week some nice dad let me borrow his daughter's little fishing rod and give fishing a try for the first time...liked it for a very short time...then got distracted

Packing to Camp - Back in May

So Mama & I have just realized that we have a LOT of pictures that you haven't seen from most of our summer. So we'll give you a few pics a day from different stuff we've done and maybe throw in a movie or two.

This is a movie day and the title says it all. Enjoy!
PS "Vacker" means vacuum.

My new buddy Graham

This is Graham...he's one of my best buddies. When we see each other it's like seeing the sun for the first time after a very long winter...it's amazing...Mama says so. She also says to ignore her commentary in the video and watch us boys...because we're really cute and she's just talking and talking and talking. There's more of me and Graham to come!
