Lainey's CCA Retreat

Lainey's 9th grade class took a 3-day trip to Umatilla, Florida for some class bonding. She had a blast!

On a separate note... I went to college with this doctor! She's been in town helping Ben's hospital open a wound care clinic! So fun to see her when I visited Ben's hospital the other day. :)

Gracie up a tree. Trying to get to a squirrel. A common occurrence. It's the Catahoula in her...

An actual Catahoula...it's NOT Gracie but it sure looks like her.

Gracie and Maple :)

Besties, eating vomit together (Maple's).

Gracie

Reagan used to do this! She would look out the door and watch for me.

Her little face. :)

We drove to Boca to meet up with her best dog friends - missing a few, but here they are! 

Daisy, Bindi, Gracie, and Zoey. :)

watching a family of ducks

A second family of ducks off to the right - one mama still has lots of her babies...the other mama only has two of them. :(

Some snuggles - she is the least affectionate animal we have ever had. She would much rather be in a pack of dogs! With the occasional couch. ;)

Hagans Visit Florida!

This past weekend, a couple of days after the Harrises left Florida, the Hagan Family visited us!

Tom (5), Walker, Vivian (3), and Lainey at the Beach House restaurant in Pompano.

(Vivan's faces are my favorite)

We spotted our "backyard alligator" sunning himself. 

Viv loved standing on a pillow to see better. (Not really all that effective but toddlers are funny that way!)

Bear checking out the sights.

the alligator looks like a log in the background

We introduced Tom to MarioKart.

He loved it! Once he figured out who his "person" was on the screen.

Headed back to Texas! Thanks for visiting, Hagans. We loved every minute!
