Camped Out!

I've been to camp like crazy this summer! The first week of July I went to CIT (counselor in training) the 9-10 yr old camp and then the week after that I CIT'd the 11-12 yr old camp! Wowzers. And  now, tomorrow I get to go to camp as a camper! Woo! Everything's all fine and dandy except for the fact that it's only a weekend. :( Oh well, I still get to see all my camp buddies! If you think all that was a lot of camp, well then, we're also going camping in the second week of August! Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be camped out by then!

Just Another Day of Summer...

Oh how I love summer! Today we decided we have had enough of the dogs getting all muddy and wet from sources unknown so we bought them a little wading pool. Not the blow-up kind because that thing would pop on the first day! It was a hard plastic one. We figured they would have a blast splashing around in it on hot days. Well when we brought it home the dogs looked at it like "What is that thing doing in our yard?". So I tried persuading the dogs to come in. I even went in to try to get them to come in! I called their names but all they would do was drink from the side. Not quite what we bought it for....So I decided if I could get Jessie (the older dog and the "adopted mom" of the two puppies) in I would be able to get the puppies in. I threw her toy in the middle of the pool and she stuck her head under the water on the side! Well thats going to get you nowhere. So I shook it around a little and eventually Jessie figured out she had to go into the pool to get it. The puppies just watched. Well! Then later on when I was back in the house I saw that Ace was in the pool! Huzzah! Hally wasn't. She was just drinking the water of course. I have yet to get Hally in the pool but I will before the end of the summer!
