Captain

After my graduation adventures on Sunday, when Monday rolled around and mom said we were going on an adventure – I took the car ride there as an excuse to catch up on my much needed napping.

And it’s a good thing I got those extra Zzzz’s because I had to be captain of the ship!

Ok well maybe technically it was more like a motor boat we rented from the Marsh Creek State Park for a few hours – but either way it required a lot of Captaining.

My boat ride on this scorcher of a 90 degree day was the perfect thing to kick off the summer!

I even took a few laps in the lake later on – and mom said next time perhaps we’ll rent some paddle boards so I can really get wet!

With the wind in my ears, I knew there was only one more thing to start the summer right….

….Ice cream!!!

I even screamed enough that dad gave me a taste of his vanilla from Crazy Cones.

And to wrap up my adventuresome memorial day weekend I played some soccer in the backyard with my cousins during a family cookout. It was the perfect way to end the weekend, although I’m pretty sure I’ll be sleeping for the next 48 hours straight! 

Early Spring at the Lake

Posted on by

In Pennsylvania we’re having an early Spring this year. Even though today is the official first day of Spring, in the weeks leading up we’ve been having glorious 70 degree weather.

I’m all about this warm weather, which is why yesterday I decided to take a trip with my ponies to Marsh Creek State Park.

Blitz and Boomerang went for a little dip in the lake while I got to do some exploring.

Did you know that it smells like fish at the lake? I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fish.

Even though I really wanted to do some fishing, the water was a bit chilly for me.

I didn’t catch any fish this time, but I did find a stick. Highlight of my day!

I also found this neat rock.

And then I got really brave, and actually took a dip in the lake!

Next time I plan to bring a raft so I can float out just as far as the ponies can! And Boomerang promised me he’d learn how to use a fishing pole. I’m so excited!

Anyone else having an early Spring this year? Have you been on any Spring adventures yet? I’m already compiling my list of Summer activities that I want to do this year! Yipee!

I bet you thought the story ended with my boat ride on Tuesday afternoon at Marsh Creek State Park. Well that would be false, because after I left the docks – I had something else in mind.

Swimming!

I had fun practicing my dolphin swimming.

And then I played a game of fetch with Dad.

Which pretty quickly escalated into a game of chase.

Catch me if you can, sucker!

 

Sea Legs

Posted on by

Slowly but surely I’m earning my sea legs. You might remember I went on a boat outing a few months ago up in the Poconos. Well yesterday I went on another boat outing at Marsh Creek State Park.

On a 90+ degree day, it was the perfect weather to spend on the lake.

I have to admit I was so excited I did a little yelling. How can you not, when you’re on the open water!?

We did have a little “man overboard” incident…

I know what this looks like, but I swear I didn’t push him!

Dad probably should have been wearing his life vest.

Well, I’ve pretty much mastered this boating thing. Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy! I think next time I might try my hand paw at windsurfing!
