MORE CAMPING!! and Rafting!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love camping- and i love my people?

This week was pretty busy- Abby was on call last weekend, and on Wednesday night. I miss her when she's on call. Then on Friday they started packing stuff. At first I didn't know where we were going. Saturday morning they got out my favorite stuff- the camping stuff!! I went crazy because I love camping- we get to be outside for a whole weekend, new smells, usually there's swimming and tasty treats that fall on the ground; and I get to cuddle them in the tent. They want me to sleep at the end, but I usually sneak up to the middle so I can lay on the warm sleeping pads too.

They packed up the car. We stopped at this place on the way, Abby and Ethan went inside and talked to a lady about leaving me for the weekend. I did my saddest/cutest face and they caved.... I got to go!! They couldn't go camping without me and I'm so glad!!!

We drove to the Forks for a Rafting Trip on the Dead River. Abby and Ethan found a place to babysit me, then we went to the head of the Dead River and set up the campsite. We met Andrew and Ben, then Kael, TJ, Curt and a couple of Andrews friends joined us.

Ethan did lots of fishing- he loves fishing. He caught a couple good ones- but he doesn't really care if he catches them- I think he likes trying not to fall in the most, but who knows. He's using the new Sage rod that Abby got for his birthday- He really likes it.

Sunday morning they dropped me off at a hunting camp for the day. A nice lady took care of me. They rafted. I hear it was an excellent adventure- Andrew was the guide- he did an awesome job (no one fell out) and the weather was great to boot!

We stayed an extra night camping so Ethan could fish a little more.

Kael, TJ, Curt, Abby and I walked up to the falls. It was really neat- see pictures below, but noisy.
