Happy 4th!!!

Mom, Dad, Stout and I headed for the coast this holiday weekend. Dad found a camp site at Mt. Humbug state park. Yup, that's the name of the mountain. The park was all the way down by Gold Beach which is way down the coast, so we drove and drove and drove on Friday, but finally got there in time to check out the beach.
At first the sand was pretty icky, and then the waves from the big bath tub came up and it was COOOLLLLLDDDD!!!!!
But Mom saved me and we chased the waves back into the bathtub. Of course some times the waves chased us. We went climbing to the top of Mt. Humbug on Saturday. Mom, Dad and Stout were pretty tired when we got to the top, but I took a little nap on the way so I was all set to go. Shhh, Mom don't tell dad that I'm back here, I'm going sneak up and scare him.... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Stout had to take a little snooze at the top of the mountain. Mom was all smiles though.

On our way home we stopped to see a few lighthouses on the coast. Here is the view from Umpqua River lighthouse. Stout couldn't be bothered to turn around for the photo. I think he wanted a bite of Dad's apple. Oh! I almost forgot. This here was our sweet ride. Grandpa hooked us up with his truck and camper. It worked out great. I got to sleep in my pack n play on the kitchen table/ bench, Mom and Dad where in the bed, and Stout slept on the floor. It was perfect!
Well it's time to rest up now because we're off to Philadelphia on Thursday for the big Hodge reunion. I can't wait to see everyone, it's going to be AWESOME!!!
