‘Unfortunately my setup was poor so my boyfriend’s face wasn’t in frame, but we set up our poses, talked about whether to wear sunglasses or not, and then smiled.
‘Little did I know my dog had hopped on the paddleboard that was sitting in a cove and had pushed her way out onto the glacier lake!
‘This led to a panicked dog mom (me) and a wonderful boyfriend who saved the day!’
Kelsey frequently posts about her hiking expeditions, and has taken Rayleigh on several trips to Arizona, Oregon and other parts of Washington state.
