“I wasn’t even buying hot sauce!”

I think it’s a sign that you’ve got a group of amazing friends when you look over your vacation photos and recognize that you’ve made even the mundane parts of the trip fun. Things like:

Picking burrs out of the carpet!

Going to Costco!

Waiting for a friend to finish up at a gift shop!

Not pictured: The three minutes we spent on the path to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center when we finally figured out we’d need to buy an overpriced “Discover” pass but by the time we turned around to get it, the place would be closed.

Legend of the Water Dog

Today was absolutely gorgeous, one of the few summery days we’ve had this year, so I went outside to water my flowers–partially because I hadn’t watered them in a few days, and partially to enjoy the sunshine. Napodog came out with me, and began doing something I’d never seen before: flinging himself in front of the spray of water like he was a bodyguard defending the president from an assassin’s bullet. Over and over and over again. Eventually, I had to go inside and get my camera for evidence.

Time to get this dog a kiddie pool.
