Exciting news - our boys did not get a bath for nothing! We packed up
the car, the boys, and their leashes and took them to the cool pines of
northern Arizona.
 |
| I hope you don't mind a lot of pictures! |
We decided to make it a little easier on ourselves and rent a cabin, which I think Monty appreciated - he isn't fond of roughing it.
 |
| I'm not talking to you... |
It was nice to get out of the heat and dust of the valley and see something green for a change!
 |
| Dad and his boys |
...and wet!
 |
| You are seeing correctly - that is Sam in WATER! |
He really seemed to like the creek:
 |
| Splash, splash, splash... |
We even found a little dog park where we could let Monty run off leash! This was a rare treat for our boy.
 |
| I is a wolf.... |
 |
| The brothers.... |
Playing catch...
 |
| This is great! |
...and of course, there had to be a photo-bomb somewhere in all the photos.
 |
| Monty, you've got something stuck to your head... |
Even Sam enjoyed the dog park!
 |
| I'm loving this! |
The boys enjoyed resting in our cabin in the evening.
Especially Sam, who takes begging seriously:
 |
| Don't try this at home - I'm an expert... |
We spent a lot of time on the front porch listening to the wind in the trees.
 |
| It blows my butt furs something fierce too! |
We had a little restaurant nearby where we could get dinner:
 |
| We want fries with our hamburgers, Mom! |
We got lot of hiking in:
...but it didn't matter where we went - it was all gorgeous!
 |
| The path to the dog park. |
We took time to enjoy the scenery!
 |
| At the See Canyon Trail Head |
We had two very happy boys!
 |
| Monty |
 |
| Sam |
...and a very happy family!
 |
| If you look closely you can see Monty between us! |
That looks wonderful! Looks like your whole pack had lots of fun!

What a fun trip! Love the little cabin, and how awesome that dogs are allowed to stay too.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I don't understand why you needed a bath though.
ReplyDeleteA perfect trip! We love the outdoors. Seeing this post makes us miss our Rosie and we are sure another Golden is in our future.
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful trip for all of you. One of My Vickies favorite searches was in the mountains far above Flagstaff. It was so incredible.
ReplyDeleteStaying in the cabin is a perfect way to do it. That sleeping in a sleeping bag on the ground can be a little rough on her bones these days.
Thanks for sharing

We can tell just from the tone of your words how much you enjoyed this trip. How fun for the boys!!! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome adventure. It all looks like so much fun. Glad you had a good time. I have to agree with Monty cabins are much better than ruffing it. I needs my couch :)
ReplyDeleteEmma

ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Sam on Monty's head, it reminds me of Johnny Knoxville's character in Men in Black II. :-)
How great that you got to get away to a cool cabin with the boys! I really looks like everyone enjoyed themselves. I love Monty's "wold" impression. heehee! There's nothing better than a cool breeze blowing through your butt fur! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sam and Monty,
