Vacation, Day 4

We woke up early on our 4th vacation morning feeling lazy. We headed out to find our next camp site early, so we could just sit around and relax all day. We passed by this heard (if that is what you call them) of antelope, which was exciting since that was one wild animal that was on my list to see :)
Only one out of the 23 or so that we saw had horns.
We stopped at La Pine State Park to check it out. There, we got to see the biggest ponderosa pine in the state. We may, or may not have crossed the fence to get our picture in front of it (but I would never show state park employees breaking rules, right:).
Below is a shot of the biggest ponderosa pine in Oregon.......
And the tree below was just too funny to not take a picture of.
This is the day use area at La Pine, it was pretty big and awesome. The Deschutes river is friggin cold, but I am sure on a hot day it feels really good. Still too early for us.
We didn't have to drive much farther to find the perfect campsite. This one has to be my top spot of the trip (although I loved the one by Collier Memorial as well). The spot was right along the Deschutes river, pretty secluded, and super hot!!
Daisy laid in the shade for most of the day. I could only stand the sun until 2 or so, then I joined her.
What a view!!

The sun was setting, so it was finally cool enough to leave Daisy in the car and take a stroll. Such a beautiful sunset!!
