Catch Up

I feel like my blogging has been a little pathetic lately, so I will try to get this up to date.  First, here is a picture from our trip to Yosemite.  We went up two weeks ago and stayed at 

Tenaya Lodge for a night.  It was gorgeous!  I haven't been to Yosemite sinc I was eight, and I had completely forgotten how beautiful (and big!) it is.  The whole way up Caitlin and I were oohing and aahing, kind of like a National Park commercial.  The pictures are a little foggy because of the smoke from the

 fires, but you can still get the idea.

Secondly, I thought I should include a picture of the bassets on the Fourth of July.  Muddy had a hat on as well, but I couldn't update her pictures.   Not only is it a tradition at our home to have fireworks and home made ice cream on the fourth, we also make a point of forcing the dogs to wear their little hats.  We have matching shirts for them, but it was a little hot this year.

They dealt with it pretty well for an hour or so, but eventually it gets a little depressing watching them walk around with a sagging uncle sam hat hanging from their ears.

My last update is more recent.  Tomorrow I am leaving with mi familia (that's for Sarah) to go to Florida for a week.  We are spending a few days in Orlando and then going down to Key West.  I'm excited about the nice hotel, beaches, and Minnesotan friends, but dreading the humidity.  It is hard to imagine it being much hotter than it is here!
