Our first non-beach nature outing in NJ - Lake Absegami at Bass River State Park 9/21/07

Maple "nigh nigh" on Samuel on our way to Lake Absegami. Samuel thought that was great.

Maple tests the Lake Absegami water

Maple and Samuel have fun with a waterlogged stick

Samuel thinks Maple's attempts to raise the stick are hilarious

Maple is one funny dog!!

Maple and Samuel decide who is going to pick up that stick from the lake bottom

There go the semi-dry clothes

At least it's a warm September day! Lake Absegami
