Dakota at the park

When our visitors were here last week, we discovered that Dakota LOVES playing on the playground equipment at the park! It really hilarious. I've posted a picture below of her going down the slide. All we have to do is say "Go down the slide" and she'll run up the stairs and go down the slide. We're also teaching her to do a whole routine, jumping through hoops, over benches, across bridges, and down the slides. She is probably the smartest dog I've ever dealt with. Yeah, we're proud parents.

Target, the New England way!

Mickelson - Porter visit!

We were incredibly blessed this week to have Matt's parents and sister and our NIECE come to visit us from Idaho! We had a really fun time. Visitors are always good, especially because we are pretty homesick and bored. Anyway, I have put a bunch of pictures below of our visit. I tried to weed out as many pictures as I could, but we took hundreds, so it was hard.

This first set of pictures is from our visit to NYC.

Dakota in her new MAINE hoodie! Surprisingly, she loved it, and was prancing around all day.
