With the long weekend we had an opportunity to do a little exploring. We drove down to Saltwater State Park at Puget Sound and then on to Dash Point State Park, also on Puget Sound. This was the dogs first experience with saltwater.

The coast line along the Sound
I found moss and ferns growing on the side of a tree, weird!
The dogs were really happy to find a fresh water stream
Mitch was going to get wet whether he wanted to or not!

How did they like the salt water? Choppy still hasn’t figured out not to drink it. Someday…
Charlie wasn’t real sure about the tide. He did not like the taste at all. Orso thought it was ok I think he would have gone in deeper if he was off leash. I hope soon we can go again maybe someplace with less people
I saw the same kind of ferns on a tree here! It does look so odd!
It seems weird to me too.
