Night out on the Town!

I'm kinda slow in posting this, but here are the few (somewhat) good pictures from my 21st birthday! Biggest sister Tricia took me out along with friends Yetz and Dave. We went to the new-ish brewery in town - the beer was good and the pizza was even better! A grand time was had by all! :)

 

Mom Talk

D captured this series of me giving a stern talk to "the boys" a couple weeks ago. I forget what they were being admonished for, but the way they sat/laid there made us both laugh :)

 

Louie at the Cabin

 

Louie and His Food (Try #2!)

I took this video a couple months ago...when the boys get fed, Buck usually wolfs his down, and poor Louie takes his sweet time, savoring each tiny bite. When Buck is done with his bowl, he almost always comes preying upon Louie. Louie eventually became tired of it, and you'll see (well, more like hear...) his reaction if you watch the video. He only does this to Buck, not if I, or any other human, comes near him when he's eating. Plus, I'm sure he doesn't realize that the fact that his tail is wagging the entire time really doesn't make him seem all that scary and ferocious :)

Jacob from Long-Long Ago!

I found an old video I had from December 2006 of Jacob, when he was wee and tiny, and it makes me laugh to hear how he used to talk and how much he has grown! :)

The Duck Queen On Her Train

Molly and the Brownie

Last week, we went on our first camping trip of the year, and since I'm housesitting for T and J, I'm in charge of Molly so she came along to join in the fun! She proved to be a very good watch dog, not to mention an amazing bear dog... About an hour after we got there, I noticed she was perked right up, whining, staring straight across the river. We thought it was just birds at first, but she would not break her concentration for anything, so we checked it out, and sure enough, there was a little brown bear across the river! Not a baby...but not full-grown either. And the funny thing is, it only had 3 legs! Talking to another guy in the campground, I guess it's one that hangs out in that area a lot.

This wasn't the first exciting thing that happened on this camping trip...about 15 minutes after we got there, a helicopter came over the trees across the river, and proceeded to land in the middle of the campground, less than 40 yards from our tent! There were a couple Fish & Game guys in it who had gone out to check out the lake and streams and see how much of the ice had melted off already. They managed to blow up quite a bit of dirt in the process, so much that our campfire almost went out, and my contacts weren't the same for the remainder of the trip!

So it was definitely a very eventful camping trip, not to mention the weather was beautiful, sunny and around 70, which is better than most of the weather we had for the entirety of last summer! :)
