Dog Days of Summer

So we are at the end of August and this month is traditionally known as the dog days of summer. However, at our house it is the dog days of summer of a different sort. Our littlest one thinks she is a dog. She loves animals and while on vacation, she got to be with grandma's dog (formally mine). Of course she loved it, in fact so much that she tried to drink water out of the bowl and was always picking up his food. We were lucky she did not eat it. She did get hungry and did find time to share a popsicle with Dad. Life is good!

Home For Awhile

We were away on vacation and just returned. We ended extending our vacation since we had no work to return to. With the final days of our current job ending, it is strange to think we have nothing to go back to ...... that is if you don't count school. We actually had a great time with family and towards the end we did finally relax and not rush so much. We were able to get in some hiking and lots of swimming and the sun ya that was amazing. Heat is always good.

Is This a Vacation?

So we are away on vacation, what could be better. We are seeing family and of course having a whirl wind trip. We thought this was going to be a time for relaxing, but we have run from pillar to post. We left home and drove for 4 days, yes I said 4 days to get to our camping spot. We of course did a lot of stopping and were able to see some of Yellowstone, Jackson Hole and a few other places. But we were tired when we finally arrived. We spent two days there and continued on to be with our families which are in another state.....whew! Of course here we have friends and family to fit in. We will go home I am sure more exhausted then we came, how great..... that is the way it should be. We will need a vacation from the vacation. I have left my lap top at home so I only have a few pictures that were emailed to me. I will add some later.
