Chief and Phoebe's Hair Cut

I was tired of seeing the pup's long matted hair in this heat so I took them to get shaved.  Phoebe got a poodle like tail due to so many mats.  They seem to be feeling better.

Weekend Camping Trip

We decided to forgo our planned weekend chores and take a trip to our favorite camping spot this past weekend for some relaxation.  The kids got the hang of casting a spinning reel and were taking the fish off themselves.  Just need to work on baiting the hook.  The patches on our air mattresses gave out over night and we all woke up on the ground, so we decided to cut the trip a bit short.

Got the fire going.

Roasting hot dogs for dinner.

Mom in the kitchen.

From our spot on top of the mountain you can see the lights of Rural Retreat (I think).

Nice sunset.

They're not babies anymore...

Relaxing at the fire.

 

Alex with a nice bluegill.

 

Unfortunately, Mom had to do some studying.

 

 

Alex caught a fish almost every cast from this log.

 

Kennedy did well at her spot too.

Rocky couldn't wait until the kids pulled in the next fish. He tried to bite the fish when the kids released them.

 

Dixie got in on the fish biting action too.  

Lula fetched a stick or ball the ENTIRE time.  She was wiped out all day Sunday after we returned and barely left the couch.
