Backyard Fun!

We have been soakin' up the Colorado sunshine the last few days, yesterday we went on a hike to Red Rock Canyon (it's an old quarry site) with our neighbors Daron and Rachael. We brought the dogs along and had a nice afternoon hike. Dakota saw a pond and jumped right in. It was the kind of pond when you think its nice and clear water but once you step in you see that it's actually mud and very shallow but Dakota could not have cared less, she was just happy to be WET. We forgot the camera, so there are no pictures....sorry. It's fun to be outside now that spring like weather is here. We came home and grilled some AMAZING guacamole burgers and watched the second half of Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Then today we did some fun pictures in the backyard of Natalie and then ended it with a family picture which was somewhat difficult to capture with Dakota and Natalie. We had to take 3 shots on self timer to get this one which turned out pretty good. Anyway you need to make plans to come visit us here in Colorado if you haven't all ready!

We think Natalie might be half graham cracker monster. She devours a full size graham cracker in about 2 minutes!


Natalie thinks it's fun to splash in the the dog's water bowl....it's very hard to keep her from water these days!

Thats a GREAT group shot!! Everyone looks so happy! I know we had to try several times when we were on the back steps. Good job! =)

Dakota and the pond sounds like the dogs at our dog park. There's always a little muddy puddle and ALL the Labs go and lay in it. Every one. Eli leaves it alone, as he likes to be clean... =) Gotta keep a spare towel in the trunk for times like that! =)
