Walking, Camping, Hiking - Oh my!

What a week!! 

We shared last Saturday that October 1st through 7th marked National Walk Your Dog Week.  Boy, did the humans make good on that.  We walked everyday last week except for yesterday - at that point we were all too tired to think straight let alone walk anywhere.

We celebrated our small two legger, Isaac's, 9th birthday yesterday.  As part of the celebration, Isaac requested to go camping. 

So off we went - four two legged kiddos, five golden retrievers, oh and mom and dad too.  (Yes, anyone willing to primitive camp with four kids and five dogs might be considered slightly insane, but as the humans say, "If the shoe fits....")

What a fabulous adventure we had! 

See for yourself:

We supervised the humans as they set up the tent.

They do all the work.  We do most of the play!


Here I am hurrying them along.

Scarlet and Dacey taking an early morning walk.

Playing at the creek was the best!!

I couldn't wait to jump in!

We ran and chased and ran.
We had fun taking the kids for walks.
Dacey and Rose Bud went down a nature trail.
Connor and Kudzu stop to inspect some foilage.
At night dad built a big fire.
We supervised that too.

Dad danced with his princess.
That silly Jaden told scary stories.  (They were funnier than scary though.)


We had a grand time and can't wait to go back!
But first we have some napping to do.

  7. I loved seeing your camping fun. Goldens are great when you are camping this time of year. They really help to keep you warm on these cold nights.

    We did primitive camping when our kids were young. And our equipment wasn't nearly as user friendly as you have now. Canvas tents with all those poles. Now that we are old retired folks, I'm not sure we want to camp like that anymore. On the other hand...

  8. Looks at all of those happy faces! Looks like you all had a great trip with your humans running in the mud and playing in the water. No wonder you were so tired on the way home.
