Cooper's Summer Vacation

In August, Cooper took a summer vacation to Asheville, North Carolina. 


Cooper swam A LOT during the trip! The house we rented was on a lake and had an indoor pool, so Cooper spent most of his vacation wet. First, in the lake.






And in the indoor pool:




Then Cooper hiked to the top of the Chimney Rock State Park (he would have reached the top twice as fast if Jeff and I weren't with him!) -- elevation 2280 feet.

At Chimney Rock State Park, we also hiked to the waterfall.

Cooper and Jeff set out to reach the bottom of the waterfall.
Almost there.

Thanks to Grandma Vogel, Cooper had a new towel to dry off with after all the swimming he did!  SuperCooper!




And then after all the swimming and hiking, Cooper was worn out!


Cooper passed out on the couch.

...except when there was food involved. (Notice who the well-behaved pup is.)

  


Summer vacation? Did you say summer vacation? Cooper's at the door ready to go again!
