Two Boys and Two Dogs

Saturday, November 26, 2022


As Christmas was on its way, Uncle Grant, Barbara and Grandpa delivered the boys’ Advent calendars and Grandpa’s large moose cookies.  It was also an opportunity to meet their new puppy, Max, who is half border collie and half doodle. He and Molly quickly became fast friends.

 





 

Soon we were all off on a hike to the Cascade Club on the river along the former rail bed.  The first stop was an exploration of the culvert at the corner of Pine Road.  The boys were throwing a ball in one end and picking it up at the other.

 





We headed down Pine Road to the river, and went along the rail trail.  The boys played a game to see who could throw a ball the farthest.  Of course, the ball rolled down to the river, but Molly and Sam retrieved it. Meanwhile, David decided to walk along the top of the fence.

 




Check out the video!






We came to an even larger culvert that begged to be explored.

 




At the Cascades Club, we checked out the dock and the ball ended up in the river.  Molly bravely jumped in to retrieve it.

 









On the way back, the boys played on some stairs, seeing how many steps were needed to jump down.

 





Then, another dog came along – it was Max’s big sister!  David continued walking along the top of the fence.

 




We said goodbye to the river, and returned home checking out the culvert again.
