Summer is gone but not forgotten

The family had a fun time at Chelan this year during my conference. Then we took two successive beach trips--one without dogs, where we camped on the Oregon Coast and went to a family reunion, and then one with dogs, where we stayed for a few days on the Washington Coast. Here you can see the boys in the pool, the boys at Fort Clatsop National Historical Park (dressing in Lewis and Clark mode), and the dogs and boys and I (Sue took the picture) hanging out on the beach at Moclips. You can see our peacemaker, Tucker, a golden retriever who entertains Sunny and defers to Gil. Sunny has gotten considerably more poodle-like as she has gotten older. Having Tucker has brought some semblance of sanity back to the house. He makes Sunny tired, which makes her be a better dog. And it is his special duty to wake up the boys every morning.
