When we set off to find letterboxes on Douglas Mountain on Friday afternoon, we knew we had to bring a lot of water. With the temperature at almost 90 degrees, Fino decided to pack several frozen water bottles in his backpack.

That made his pack heavier than usual, and since he was still recovering from a head cold, it was a tiring climb for him.

The girls and I set out the picnic blanket once we reached the top of the mountain so he could lay down for a few minutes while we ate our snack.

Fino decided to get more comfortable and used one of the water bottles as a head rest. The girls thought that was pretty funny and decided to add to the silliness.

It probably would have been more refreshing if we'd had a couple of cucumbers with us.
