Camping trip to Orcas πŸΎπŸ•☀️

We headed to Orcas Island with the Puppyheads to hike and swim in the heat and smoke filled air thanks to the forest fires from British Columbia. We had a great time and the Puppyheads loved camping life, but then slept 2 days afterwards πŸ˜„

Ferry ride!

Joe Joe was so done for the day. He actually tipped over as he fell asleep 

He awakens! Well, for about 2 hours, then he crashed again 


Hiking from Little Summit to The top of Mt. Constitution, 6 miles total


So smokey over Mountain Lake 



Chicken burritos for lunch! 
Soup bones were a big hit!
