We loaded into the car and headed off up Flagstaff Road. It is the road that was closed during the Flagstaff Fire.  Fizz and I share the back of the  car and I don’t really like all the curves. I would like to look out but if I stand or sit I get knocked over. It was a good trip though because  we  got to swim twice and even went in a restaurant with Mom and Dad while they had  lunch. Along the  way we  stopped and Dad  took a picture of Boulder. It was really hazy out.

We stopped along the way and explored South Boulder Creek.

We walked down to the creek. Fizz has to be on a leash most of the time because she has not learned to come every time she is called and sometimes chases rabbits. I don’t know why she doesn’t come when Mom or Dad call her, maybe because they are not her Mom and Dad or maybe she is still a puppy. I know it is the easy way to get a treat so I come when Mom calls or Dad whistles.

Fizz was off the leash for a  little  swim.  I keep a close watch and she  was really good.  It is the only way she is going to learn.

I got to explore a little  and even swim. I love the water!

Our  next stop was  near  Rollinsville. There is a creek that runs  along the East Portal road from Rollinsville to the East Moffet Tunnel. It is really beautiful.  Dad and I were there last year when we hiked  to Yankee  Doodle Lake.

Got a little swim in.  Did I tell you I love the water?

Fizz got a chance to be off the leash and swim, she behaved  great.

After all that swimming and running around Mom and Dad were hungry.  I don’t understand, Fizz and I did all the swimming and playing!  We stopped at the Stage Stop in Rollinsville. They were  nice and let Fizz and  inside to a enclosed patio when Mom and Dad ate lunch.  We were tired from all the swimming and both lay right down.  Some people even petted us.
