Cabins, creeks, lakes and forests

I love car rides! Last week Mum & Dad packed up the car and took me on a great adventure. 
At first, I thought we were going to the creek with the blue/green water, but when we got to the place where we should have turned, Dad kept driving. 

I kept trying to guess where we would stop, but it was dark by the time we got there. I sniffed all around but couldn't recognize anything. The place was made of wood. It smelled really good, and when they said we were "home", I was so excited I raced round and round. It was a bit smaller than at home, so I could only race around in small circles. 



When we got up the next morning, I was very happy to find out there was a creek running just a few steps from the back door. Mum and Dad let me stay out there watching the birds and taking in all the new smells.












There were creeks and lakes everyone around there. I had a fine time jumping in and out of the water, 




swimming, soaking,


running, wagging, rolling in the grass,

 

shaking myself off and slurping up that cool, fresh water.

I had a grand time!

Back at the cabin, all the usual house rules were off and I was allowed to sit at the table for dinner with everyone else. Well, I didn't actually eat my dinner up there, but I did manage to stay very close to make sure everyone ate up their salmon.

The next day we went to a lake, which was even better than the creeks. 

While Mum and Dad were taking a nap, I sorted out some ravens that were getting a bit close to our picnic. Then I jumped in the water again, to cool off. And when I got out, I ran around, and then ran some more. I was a bit tired on the drive back to the cabin.











I tried really hard to keep my eyes open, so as not to miss anything, but my head got so heavy, I just had to rest it for a while.




I think there was buffalo for dinner, but I'm not really sure...
my bed felt so good!
