Buddy was busy over the past few days. He sailed with a few of his maties – pillaging and plundering.
After a big snow storm, we found him outside on the deck playing in the snow with his penguin friend.
After a whole day outdoors, they spent the next day warming up inside with big cups of hot chocolate. More marshmallows, please!
More adventures to come…
We made an impromptu road trip up the North Shore of Lake Superior last Saturday. It was Sebastian’s birthday and he wanted to keep things low-key. We made our way past Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls and Castle Danger and brought the kids to Palisade Head. It is a favorite place to go for incredible views of the lake and 200-300 foot cliffs above the water’s surface. The cliffs without railings paired with gusty high winds made it a bit nerve-wracking for Mike who is not a fan of heights.
We made a stop in Silver Bay on the way home. High waves were crashing along the lake shore and we found the perfect place to watch it happen and feel the spray of the water as the waves hit the rocky shoreline. I will post those photos this weekend. Check back!
Our faithful boxer Daphne is turning 10 today. Here are 10 things that we love about you Daphne…
10. You enjoy going for walks and get excited anytime you hear the noise made from your collar and leash getting taken out of the drawer.
9. You love to play fetch with tennis balls in the backyard.
8. You love to play fetch in the basement with your squeaky bone.
7. You love to play. Period.
6. You love peanut butter. As soon as I pull the jar out of the cupboard and start twisting the cap off you come running into the kitchen hoping for a taste. Despite your very adorable face, your begging doesn’t always work.
5. You are a wonderful guard dog and are very protective. You bark when someone is outside the house, at the door or when the kids get too wild in the house.
4. You are always excited to see us when we get home.
3. Your favorite thing to do in the morning is wake up Sophia for school. You howl, wag your tail and tap her with your paws to get her out of bed.
2. Your favorite thing to do at night is have your bed moved into Sebastian’s room before he goes to sleep. You get comfy and don’t want to leave. We think it is because Sebastian has the warmest room in the house. Sebastian thinks it’s because of him. He is probably right.
1. We are so glad that we adopted you 5 1/2 years ago. You made our family complete.
