Road Trip!

While on vacation in July, THEY rented a cabin at Fidalgo Bay Resort, and then THEY traipsed all over the countryside.  We could barely keep up - but we tried.  There was so much food to be eaten, and so many ice cream cones to snitch buy from the store across the street - but we tried.  

The third day THEY went back to Washington Park, just on the outskirts of Anacortes.  It is a city park and full of trees and picnic areas and wonderful things to see.


There are lots of old, dead trees.  Grampa (remember, his name is grahm pa) loves to climb.  Bears are like that.

Frogs prefer hopping - hop on up - the view is great!


Grampa seems comfy



Oops - sorry bear - frogs are not so good at climbing.


Family picture time - SHE sure likes to take a lot of pictures.

Close up of me - I'm the cutest one anyway.
   

Oh dear, Grampa took a tumble - you ok there, bear?

I  didn't do it - I"m too sweet for that - better watch out frog.

Second Day of Vacation

This is our second day of vacation. Day one is here


We had such a grand time at the cabin - but decided that we needed to have a place with a kitchen, and softer beds - so THEY packed up everything and took us out to breakfast - well THEY didn't know we went with them, because we were  hiding busy in the kitchen of the restaurant - they have some awfully big pans back there, full of the best kinds of food you can think of  -  but we were careful to not be spotted - so no photos, sorry.  We have to hide the incriminating evidence.


On we go - to the next cabin at the resort -  but first - a visitor early this morning.


The neighbors left their garbage out overnight - and look who came calling


THEY thought he was cute - we think he is trying to steal our snacks - greedy critter



We are finally at the cabin - it has a pool


Buddy E. told us it was a pool - I think he is telling us fibs - this won't hold water


Time for a break - the deck has a lovely view of the bay.  Wonder if I should toss the frog in the bay?  I've heard that frogs love water.


I better make a list - there is a store right across the street - I hope they have ice cream

Better watch out - there are big furry critters out here



Do you like ice cream, critter?  My, what nice big ears you have.  Bears have little ears, and frogs have none - we'd love to have some nice big ears like that - that better to hear the ice cream truck coming.



What a pretty kitchen - do you think we could cook something?  SHE is not cooking so SHE shouldn't mind if we use the stove.

Now look at the mess you've made bear, wipe all that mess off me, quick.

Oh look - a honey pot.  HE went shopping and bought this nice honey pot for us.

How come it doesn't have any honey?  Bears need honey.



A nice family picture - that frog - always a show off.


Frog seems to like the attention - he better be careful - he might fall in.


Hello froggy!


Careful froggy - this is slippery


Oops!


Hee Hee - oh dear, froggy "slipped" and fell in.


You ok froggy?



Just leave me alone Mrs. BrownDirt - this is my pitcher.  I'm the star here.





A nice fire in the fireplace - SHE had to turn it on for us - bears and frogs don't got no "fumbs" - and Mrs. BrownDirt is much too short.  Does anyone have any marshmallows?

 

What a day - we need to rest on this big big bed- I don't think there will be room for THEM.  And who has been jumping on this bed and messing it up? Frog????

Come back later - we are going on a road trip.

ROAD TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!

A Vacation




THEY decided that there should be a vacation - and what is a vacation if you don't take your friends along?  Well - THEY tried to get out without us - but we are pretty clever - we just jumped in the suitcases and when THEY unpacked - there we were.


First day was spent at Bay View State Park -

I love to sit in flowers - it is what frogs do.


Mrs BrownDirt thinks she's a frog - get out of those flowers Mrs. BrownDirt!


HER tripod is just right for a long-legged frog - now if I could just click and take photos. Where is my camera?

The State Park knew we were coming so they built us this nifty swing on the deck - there's that pesky frog - just hangin' around


There is plenty of room on this swing - wouldn't you like to swing for a bit?


Of course a pesky frog might jump on your head
Mrs. BrownDirt thinks I have a book - so she wants to read over my shoulder


Drat - no books!!


Hop on up - the view is great

Swinging on the gate.  .  .


Ouch - and SHE laughed so hard she couldn't get a good picture of me, this is not my best side.  No more swinging on the gate for me!


Look at Buddy E - he's got his arm caught in the gate latch - and SHE didn't even laugh at him - I'm insulted.

Just hangin' around


Nothing much to do on a summer day - wish we had a boat!


I'll sit on HER trekking poles - she's not using them right now


All  done hangin' around

Time for bed - why do they make these beds so high?


Somebody is getting a free ride to the top


Whew - we made it!


Planning for tomorrow.  .  .


I think we'll eat all the blueberry muffins tonight so they'll have to take us out for breakfast tomorrow.

G'nite
