The Leaves Are A Changin'

Dogs ♥ Camping

We went camping last weekend and found a lovely little campsite, down by the river. So pleasant to wake up the the water rushing down stream :) Only one problem, now Brandi wants us to install a river in the backyard...

Bandit on the other hand, does not love water. She prefers to look on from afar.
After her adventures up and down the river, Brandi and Austin played some soccer. Yes, that's Brandi with an entire full size soccer ball in her mouth!Then she looked on as Aus and Erik played some 'shoes.
Then she finally found someone of her own puppy status that wanted to play with her. His name is Woodrow. He's a 3 month old Ausie Sherpard.
All tuckered out... Finally!
And a little bit of sisterly love ♥ They had a fun time, but definitely needed baths when we got home. Look how dirty Bandit's feet were by the end of the weekend...

You know you live in the mountains when...

You go golfing and the deer won't move off of the green so you can putt.

This may seem odd to you but it's a regular occurrence around here.
Yet another reason I ♥ living in the mountains!

Erik's Birthday Extravaganza

Erik, being the lucky guy that he is, had a birthday celebration this year that lasted nearly a week and a half...

It started with a backyard BBQ at our house and mad shuffle board competition on his new shuffle board table. Then just a couple of days later, we headed to Denver for the long weekend.

Tailgating at the Broncos game on Thursday
Golfing, Sushi, and the Dillon Dam Brewery with Austin and Bettie on Friday
Taste of Keystone on Saturday Afternoon (we had "spaghetti and meatballs" for desert!)
Hazel Miller Concert and Fireworks (and dancing ) at the Marina on Saturday Night
Central City on Sunday for some small town gambling (by the way, CSU killed CU that day)
Then the Rockies Game on Monday Afternoon (Rockies Win!)

Spoiled, right?! But that's not all... We went out for Sushi with Trine and Mic on Wednesday, to Erik's favorite place in PC, Oishi.

Hope you had a fabulous birthday, E. So happy we could all spend it with you!

Famous Girls

We were approached several months ago by a photographer who is creating a book about Park City dogs... Turns out, my dogs are really stinkin' cute and she wanted to do a photo shoot of them for her book :P We headed up the the top of Guardsman Pass, right above Heber/Midway and this is how it went:

Brandi loves the camera!

Bandit wasn't as interested...

She didn't last nearly as long.

Did I mention this beautiful valley we live in? Breathtaking!

It was only Aug 27th and the trees were already starting to change.

So sad to see summer go, but this IS the most beautiful time of year here! LOVE IT!

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
