Bess goes on her first camping trip

We went on our first camping trip with bess the weekend after Labor Day. We camped for one night at South Whidbey State Park. Bess had a great time and we hope to make this kind of outing a regular thing next season.



We Took a little walk around the campgrounds and surrounding trails. Daddy experienced the joy of nettles for the first time in a bout 15 years. Bess is obviously quite please with the perfromance of her steed in this picture.

Bess helped to gather and arrange the kindling for the evening fire.

Bess ponders the mystery and beauty of nature.

The next day we took some time to play at the beach near Freeland. Here, Mama and Bess examine some shells and rocks.
