A three day getaway!

We went on a last minute camping trip to the Smith River and to the coast in Brookings.  We had such a nice time escaping the heat and spending time in nature! The photos below are of us exploring the Redwood forest!

                                                                Enjoying the ocean!

                                        Hanging out at camp!  Roxy loves to be a lap dog!

            We found a new spot on the Smith river.  We can't get over how beautiful it is here! 

I don't know what got into these girls on the way home... but they were having some sort of tickle or play fight! It stopped pretty quickly, probably due to pure exhaustion from our camping trip!

 

A getaway from the heat... and a good ol' fashioned mud fight!

The girls decided (I may never know why?!) to have a mud fight.  Crazy kids!!!

 

Happy 14th Birthday Lucy and Ava!!!!!

How can Lucy and Ava be 14 already?!?!? Time just seems to go by faster and faster every year! We went to Breadboard for breakfast, followed by a wonderful float down the Rogue River, with a stop for a requested BLT lunch and a side of chips and lemonade.   We came home and ate spaghetti and instant pot made chocolate and vanilla cake!  We don't currently have an oven, so cooking has been a challenge!

 

Day trip to Lilly Glen!

We had so much fun taking a say trip with the horses to Lilly Glen.  We went on a leisurely trail ride and then made dinner over the camp fire.  All the horses did exceptionally well!

 

Horses can be so dumb!

Dakota decided that reacting was a better idea that thinking today.  He somehow managed to get his nose stuck in a metal hook and instead of picking his head up he pulled back, ripping his poor little nose apart!  We had a vet out to sew it up, but as luck would have it he pulled out out multiple stitches about 1 week later.

 

Blackberries galore!
