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!
Except this time I wasn’t going to grandma’s house! No, instead me and Trooper loaded into the family car and headed to the Pocono Mountains – to the family cabin!
Of course the first thing I did when I got there was run around like a maniac. Wouldn’t you?
After a few good laps, the next logical thing was to find dig a hole.
Only, I got a little carried away in my hole digging (I might need therapy) and before I knew it – I was stuck!
Don’t worry, everyone eventually dug me out – and mom reached in and pulled me to safety. I was a little muddy and tired – but that didn’t stop me from getting back in the hole TWO MORE TIMES (each complete with their own rescue mission). hehe.
Apparently after the third rescue everyone was getting a little tired of saving me (although I thought it was a blast) so I had to sit in time out in the cabin while mom barricaded the holes under the shed.
I promised not to do it again, so mom finally forgave me and let me outside to play with Trooper.
Look at me mom! I’m just like a dolphin!
And of course we HAD to take the row boat out onto the pond.
And to no one’s surprise, Trooper fell out within the first few minutes. I told him he should have worn a life vest (he sucks at swimming – even for a half Labrador).
So I gave Trooper a few pointers, and he actually started looking pretty good.
