This week I've been on vacation and, I have to say, we had a lot of fun with the free time! It was a relaxing week remarked by beauty, adventure, and rest. After spending a few days around St. Johns, we went camping in Scappoose and spent a night on the water. Not only was it secluded, it was also dry and beautiful! Toby had a great time retrieving sticks from the creek and is getting much better under voice command. I'll once again let the pictures do the talking as they do a much better job than I can!

Everyone takes this picture, but I had to.

Lichens on a lamp post. A lichen is a cross between algae and fungus. I can thank my 10th grade science teacher with a clever way to remember this: "When Alice Algae and Freddie Fungus met, they look a lichen to each other."

I think I am going to start "planking" whenever we go on vacation.

Vacation came and went, but fortunately I have another one scheduled for next month! We will be heading to Colorado for about five days to visit with Katie's dad, sister, and her sister's boyfriend Tanner. It should be loads of fun... a real rip-snortin' time. Stay tuned!
