Smith and Bybee Lakes

After seeing these lakes during a class research trip at PSU, Andrew took us kayaking in them!

The day was very sunny and warm as we paddled through the mangrove and wetlands.

We saw an osprey, heron, ducks, an otter, and turtles.

The water was very clear, and we could see the creatures on the lake bottom. 

What a peaceful, relaxing, and gorgeous outing!

Doggie Dash 2011

The Riggs Family participated in the annual OHS Doggie Dash in downtown Portland.

 

The weather was great, and we took the 5 mile loop around the Waterfront and Esplanade.  

We crossed the Hawthorne Bridge and Steel Bridge with thousands of other people and dogs.  

Saleh wore her knight in shining armor-horseback costume and got lots of compliments.

Andrew entered the Frisbee toss contest with her, but she didn't do so hot.

She had fun being social with all of her friends.
