We took the beasts with us this trip due to the fact that since we have moved, they wont stay at home. They are taking off and living a life on the run. Heres a typical run down: discover dogs are gone, wait to see if they show up, 12 hours later call to report them missing, then, one of two things usually happens; (1) We get a call theat they have been found 3 miles away, or (B) they wander up the driveway looking haggard and need to go sleep it off. So, we weren't comfortable leaving them here. Well, let me tell you this, they had the best time!

This is waht the boys call "tromping thru the woods".
Of course, being the "gotta preserve memories" freak that I am decided we just HAD to get a picture of the kids with the beasts on a big log. Cause you know, it would look really cool.
Uh huh, yea.

I have decided the only way to get a good picture of kids and dogs is to give the dogs a sedative...
