May long weekend...

First weekend of the year at the cottage!  We were anticipating major bugs, and although Paige and Rose got lots of bites around their hairline and under their hair, the bugs were not that bad at all!! I think that they just have theirfine and  messy kid hair most of the time and the bugs get in their and bite again and again. Poor Paige was not happy and had a fever and swelling again from it. 
The drive up was great.  Scout whined and barked for the first little while and then settled down.  We made it to Weber's without a stop and there we stayed for a while to let the girls run around.  Scout was excited to see all of the other dogs.

This was the first time that Paige and Rose could successfully share a room, which they did just fine.  Paige wakes up lots in the night there for whatever reason, but Rose just slept through it all and had great sleeps, even all of her naps.  So instead of sharing a room with Rose, we shared one with Scout.  With her night time "troubles" we didn't want her to be where we couldn't hear her.  Also didn't want her to be waking other people up.  Kinda scary taking her outside at 2:00am though in the woods.  When she is better at sleeping and bigger she will sleep elsewhere.

So here are some photos:


Paige was great at fishing





A puppy paradise





Bug hunting stuff.  She hates bugs.



The required spin and dunks









Scout can swim! I tried to get a photo in the action, but she made it to the shore before I could get a shot. Mike held her in the water and she naturally started moving her legs and he slowly let go.  Afterwards she rolled in the dirt continuously. Good thing she can stay outside there. 



Scout spent a ton of time outdoors.  During the day it was cooler outside then in the cottage so she liked to curl up in the shade.  Paige and Rose spent a lot of time outside too, but in the water.  I don't know how they did it as it was like ice water.  I couldn't keep my feet in the water for more than a second without jumping back and forth from foot to foot to try to warm up.

So, a very very successful trip.  Everyone had a great time.
