It was going to be very hot over the next few days.  To try to beat the heat, Bear thought a trip to the coast would be a good idea.

Bear knew just the spot where him and Dog could watch the boats and see a lighthouse while enjoying the cool ocean breeze. Dog liked going to the ocean and was excited that he was going to see his very first lighthouse.

Bear and Dog spent the whole day just relaxing, enjoying the view and the cool ocean breeze.

Once back home, Bear and Dog could really feel the heat that they had escaped from all day.  The next day was going to be even hotter!  But Bear had another spot for him and Dog to cool off at.  This one was a secret.  Not many others knew about this special pool at the edge of the woods.  They would also be able to pick some wild strawberries along the way.  

As they made their way to the pool Bear and Dog found enough wild strawberries to over fill their bucket.  As they arrived, Dog couldn't believe his eyes.  The pool was beautiful and he could see all the way to the bottom!

Dog and Bear had another great day staying cool.  Bear was relieved to hear that after this, the heat wave was coming to an end.
