Overnight Camp Out

A favorite activity of ours to occupy our endless summer daylight is camping.  Since the hubs checks out next week to commercial fish (gotta make that money!) we wanted to get in at least one trip before he leaves.  Molly has been on several camping trips in her time with us, but last weekend was Brodie's very first trip, and our first trip with two pooches.  First of all camping with the Forester was amazing!  We crammed 3 people and 2 dogs and all of our stuff in there without having to sacrifice safety :).

The weather hasn't been cooperating as much as we would all like this summer, except for the one night we decide to camp.  It was just beautiful.

Glacier water didn't stop our girl!

The plan was to go kayaking, little did we know they closed up shop an hour before we made our way down to the lake.  To make lemonade out of our lemons we sat in the kayaks with our faces in the sun pretending we were on the water.

The pups preferred a profile shot for our family photo.

Have I mentioned that I loovee our new car?  Yeah, well I totally do.  You can't tell super well in this picture but those pups are covered in sooty mud and are soaking wet, normally this would make me cringe thinking of them jumping all over the seats unavoidably getting on the front seats where there is no cover, but now they can have all the fun they want and keep it all contained in their own cozy space.

Our friend has some incredible guitar and singing abilities, Brodie helped him to not be shy to sing in front of us so we could all sit around the fire and enjoy his sweet music.

The next day we woke up to rain, and decided it was a perfect time to pack up and home.

First camping trip of the summer was a smashing success.  The pups were great other than Molly obsessively wanting to eat the volleyball we were playing with.

What do you all do with your pups in the summer?
