We ventured out to a new park (for us) this week. There are some pretty high standards I look for in places to visit–specifically, a water source and somewhere to play and hike. Not too hard to fulfill where we live, but those are MY standards. Mom? She was just bored with where we normally go.
Kelley Point Park, one of the many parks maintained by the city, is right here in Portland. And water? Imagine the Willamette River meeting the Columbia River. That’s a LOT of water!
OMD, I was in doggy heaven and I guess those fishermen were in fish heaven out there on the river.
We found a beach and I had a most satisfying roll in some very fine sand.
Then a swim in the mighty Columbia.
Somehow all that sand fell out of my furs.
All in all, we thought it was a very fine park–four paws up! It’s a bit far from our house, but that’s okay for an adventure every once in a while.
The Smith and Bybee Lakes Wetland Park was just down the road a piece, a place we’ll save for another day.
But look what we found.
Someone was very creative!
That sure looks like a fun place Sage and I do like sand!

We bet you loved rolling in that sand. And then a good dunk in the water:) We had lots of water here today too, way too much, lots of flash flooding but luckily for us no problems.
Have a great weekend, we know you will go somewhere fun.

Wheee. It’s fun to go to new places. We have not been there, but we have been to Chimney Park for a walk around. With this stretch of nice weather, we hope to get down to the river this weekend!

Very nice park, Sage. I bet Mom was happy you didn’t go in the river, and THEN roll in the sand!

She was! Although, I hate to admit, that’s what I usually do….then she makes me get back in the water to try and get the sand off. She’s no fun.
