We are home from Addie's first camping trip
I posted a few days ago about going on a family camping trip this weekend. It was my kids (ages 8 and 6), my husband, Addie and me. I was a little worried about how Addie would handle the whole thing but I must say I couldn't have imagined how great it would be. She was absolutely perfect. She hung out with us around the camp fire, slept in the tent with us at night and hiked with us during the day. Yesterday we hiked about 1/2 mile to a series of waterfalls. Each waterfall has a pool at the base of it that you can swim in and there are little fish everywhere. Addie jumped right in and was happy to swim in the freezing water after a tough (up hill) hike. She LOVED it because there were large flat rocks under the water so she could swim to them and walk on them. There were a few other people around and she got lots of attention and compliments. When we got back to the campsite she was so tired she whined to go in the tent and fell asleep in there all by herself
 She slept like a rock that night!Across from us was a playground and every time the kids went to play, she watched them almost constantly. It was really interesting to watch her watching them. I guess she was worried about them?? Anyway, I just wanted to brag on my girl. For only 6 months old, she sure is a good pup!!! Here are a few pics from my cell phone. I'll try to post some better ones once we load them on the computer.   Keeping an eye on her big sis  One of the waterfall areas  Thanks for looking! |

That's awesome! Great pics, too. So glad all of you had a great time! I camp with three dogs and some trips, it's very tiring. Glad for your first trip success!!!! Here's to many more trips like that. Looks like you had a nice, shaded site, too.

 . We did have a very nice shady spot but the first night was still miserably hot. The second night was a lot cooler and there was a nice breeze so it was much much better.

That is how I used to be. I guess I've changed though. It was a great experience for our family and something the kids will definitely remember. I'm hoping we can go back in early fall for a bit cooler weather. |

Addie is beautiful. I love the pic with your daughter. It is so cool that GSD are truly at home where there people are.... they really are different from other breeds in that regard. My four legged kids like to camp as well.
