Mom hiked from Indian Beach to Crescent Beach and back Dad and I played in a creek and on the beach.  Lots of fun!

If not on the beach or putting a jigsaw puzzle together we explored waterfalls around the area.  Good news is I got to swim in the creeks!  Have I told you I love water??

The first waterfall was on the way to Portland with Dad and was called White River Falls.  It was really pretty.  It was hard to get to the creek but I did figure out a way.

Dad didn’t get a picture of me because he did not find the path to the water like I did!!

We went to Young’s River Falls a couple of times because it was near where we were staying in Seaside.  I loved it because I got to play in the creek.

There were some pretty flowers near the creek too.

Mom, Dad and I hiked the Horsetail Falls Loop trail and saw Horsetail Falls, Ponytail falls and Multnomah Falls.  Lots of people on the trail so I was on leash for a lot of the hike but got to run and swim some!

Mom, Dad and I stopped at Fishhawk Creek Falls on the way back to Portland from the Coast.  What a pretty peaceful place!

We spent a lot of our summer on the beaches and playing in waterfalls.  With a jigsaw puzzle thrown in between.

I love running on the Beach

An the beach with Friends is even better.

Resting between runs

 
 

A little Sun Bathing is good too.

Luke was in town for the 4th of July!  We went to the Seaside 4th of July parade and the Carousal .

Lots of fun and people.

With Luke around Dad doesn’t take as many pictures of me but I understand, he is really cute.

Patriotism in its purest form.

 

 

I know everyone likes the Fireworks but the noise scares me.  Dad gave me a treat the made me a little sleepy and it didn’t bother me as much this year.

 

I offered to let Mom and Dad use my blog to post pictures from their Iceland trip and they go do excited doing that they forgot to post my pictures from last summer.  It was a great summer on the Oregon coast with lots of friends and family visiting.

Mom, Dad and I rented a 4 bedroom house on  the Oregon coast in Seaside for the whole month of July.  Luke and  Lola  came to visit us almost  every weekend (Lola’s Mom and Dad  come too).  Mom and Dad’s friends Dianna and Peter came and so did Alex and Riley.  One of the best times I had was when Alex and Riley brought Penny and Mowgli!!  How much fun we had running on the Oregon beaches!!

Dad and  I drove  up to Portland  again this year (Mom flew from Canada through Seattle).  Dad stopped more often this time and we took some great walks  together, a few days in Portland with Lola then off to the coast.  We stayed for a couple of nights in a small house in Portland before Dad and I drove home. A great summer.  Here and on the next few posts are pictures.  Enjoy!

We stopped at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon on our way to Oregon after going by the Vermillian  Cliffs.  Wow!
