My dad joined us for breakfast.  After packing up our things from the Inn and pausing a few minutes to watch the seagulls outside our window we moved back into the LilyPad.  Packed the pups into the Ribbit and we all drove off for our daily beach outing.  If we continue our beach walks every morning, it just may turn us into ocean people and sea dogs for the extent of our trip North to Alaska.

The first beach was very windy.  We walked until the cold got to all of us and my foot began to hurt.  The pups dashed around in every direction enjoying the sun and not minding the wind.  Whalehead Beach, our second stop, was cut in half by a large spring so we walked around the park and headed back.

KatieBug loves the beach.  She is so nosy that she sticks her head down near every tide pool and between even the smallest separation in the huge rocks.  Today I didn’t have the camera ready and, in a split second, she stuck her head down towards a large tide pool, slipped on the mossy rocks and fell head first into the ice cold water.  She went under, popped her head up and froze stiff legged as if to say, what the heck happened.  John was reaching in to pull her out when she realized the water was cold and sprung her little body out and tore around the beach cussing under her breath.  Both pups got a spray down and towel dry before their mid-day nap.

After toweling off the pups, the rest of the day was spent putting away all that was moved when the water leak began and storing all the electricals used to dry everything up.  As we were given the OK to stay another week at the Elks, we relaxed and kicked back for the rest of the day.
