| Nice Saturday morning stroll led us to this cool tree |
| Playing with Opie - the mushrooms could be stairs for the Keebler people. |
| The leaves reminded Mary of the Land Before Time. |
| The newest furry kid around, Mariposa ("butterfly" in Spanish). She's a ball of energy, but sits so politely. |
| Sam and Opie were messing around |
| Tawyna, Mari, Megan, Finley, Sam and I found a hike nearby to Falls Creek Falls. |
| Bridges in the forest are fun! |
| Beautiful, big trees saved us from the heat. |
| Falls Creek Falls was one of the BEST waterfalls we've seen in the Northwest! Completely unexpected and what an amazing surprise for our morning hike. |
| Hard to see from this angle, but there are actually 3 tiers to the waterfall - it was spectacular! |
| SO fun! |
| Sam found his way to the top of the first tier and pretended to dive in. |
| SO big! |
| SO magical! |
| Love the contrasting greens with the fast-flowing water. |
| Mary trying to use focusing techniques on Opie. |
| This mushroom is sweaty. |
| Fading colors. Fall is right around the corner! |
| Sam found the bridge, too. |
| The pups and humans needed to cool off a bit in the river. |
| The Goplins impressed us all with their campside mini-donuts! |
| Finally got the oil temp juuuust right |
| Adam was our expert donut-maker for the morning. |
| SO tastey! |
| Our Home away from Home this summer, |
