Crater Lake Trip

We had a great trip to Crater Lake. Nixie did pretty well, but was exhausted by the time we got home. A lot of people wanting to pet and visit with her on the walk at Crater Lake and she isn't that much a fan of people! I thought it was really brave of us to have her with us, as we only saw one other dog near the lake! We stopped at Diamond lake too. The creek she is walking in was coming off of a water fall, it was crystal clear and cold as ice. The place we stayed over night , In chemalt was a little tacky, but we all slept good, so that's what mattered. That Sunday night, when the boy's were still at the kennel, nixie just acted completely out of sorts, she acted that way the next morning too. We picked Avery and Traz up around 10 that morning and by noon nixie was back to her smiling--dancing self. It felt good that she missed them, I wasn't sure she would! I don't know how many times we will attempt a trip like this, 580 miles in a weekend is a lot of work on us old folks, but it was a blast and a trip we'll always remember. Today I am thankful for Oregon and all of its splendor. Thankful for time to enjoy the loves of my life and thankful for quiet time at home.
