Dog Gone Kayak

It was time for an outing as I finished up my 6 hour a day college class. For Fathers day weekend I wanted to take Steve to do some of his favorite things. We made a very bold attempt to go camping and there was no room at the campground...so we made the most of a day trip. Steve caught his limit of fish...various sizes and 3 different types to put them all back.

Rodney, Baxter and I met up with our tour guides Mr. and Mrs. Mallard. They stayed with us for most of our tour. We also saw 3 storks. There was no barking until it was time to leave and they saw there own kind at the dock.

This was their second trip kayaking, so they new what was going on! The first time they dove in a few times. This time they sat on a favorite blanket and soaked in the scenery as drops of water would fall on them from the paddle. Had it been hotter out I think they may have gone for a dip.

It is nice to be together and hear the sounds of nature all around us.

Summer begins

Kelly and her baby Dane came for a visit from the great north country...our puppies were very curious to have a baby in our home. He is such a sweet baby. A good little traveler already. We had a surprising moment as we were playing games around the kitchen table and look who decides that the life of a baby works for him too. I had an old binkie in the drawer to trade with him for the babies but he only liked Dane's!

The Weekend

A quiet weekend at home...

Steves been doing really well; exercising, losing weight and eating right, then on friday at work his back went out on him for the first time in about a year.

So we had a change in the plans and here is what we did.
