better late than never!

Our plans were to celebrate Dado's 70th birthday in March with a Caribbean Cruise all together during spring break!

Well.... that did not happen for obvious reasons.

So as the COVID restrictions began to lift we started to think of how we could all get together safely... and figured the Colorado crew could drive across the desert to California and we could all hang out at the Etheridge Resort for a few days and pretend like it was St. Maarten!

We not only planned a lovely 70 years, 3 months and 13 days birthday party... but we socially distanced ourselves together for a day at the park, a day at the beach, and a day at the local fun park (fully masked and sanitized, of course!) racing go carts and playing virtual reality games. As always, the time with family filled my heart - feeling especially lucky to all be together and healthy these days. 

the making of an adventure dog

In the three weeks we have had Peace in our lives, she has been all over and had all kinds of experiences!
No doubt she will become a great adventure companion to us all...


She rode up (not on the 4-wheelers but in an OHV!) to the mountains and explored - and got dirty with her boys:

She went to Craig with Sam (to gymnastics!) and went hiking on the trails:

She goes nearly every day with her favorite hiking partners on the trails in town:


And she has been to the lake and is learning to like the water... we have hopes of making her a water dog and a kayak partner!

She has adapted so well to going to the parks and playing with other kids, dogs and people. The boys are still so smitten with her and fight over whose bed she sleeps on. She knows her family and loves to be home with the three of us... but is always up for whatever adventure we want to take her on!
