Fall Beard....

Diesel cannot sit still long enough for a picture, so it is always up to me. I am busy, I have a lot of hunting to do, so sitting for pictures all the time tests my patience. Then Mother reminds me that I AM the pretty one...

The Great Lakes

Thankfully, the weather is getting colder and our parents cannot keep driving us all around the country for hours on end. This time, they took us 4000 miles in total - away from the comforts of home for 10 days. This was in a campground in Wisconsin. It was in the National Forest and there was no one there except us! That meant Diesel and I did not have to be so quiet. We had fun on our morning walk with Samuel and ran and ran and ran...

Chama, New Mexico

Mother and Father took us to Chama, New Mexico so that Father and the small child could ride the Cumbres & Toltec steam engine. We had to stay in a more "RV" type campground, which our parents avoid at all costs. But, because Diesel, Momma, and I would be staying in the RV all day, we wanted electricity in case we got hot. This way, Father and Samuel could walk to the depot.

We had a great day with Momma, walking in the campground that was very pretty, sharing her lunch and even a nap! At night Momma and Papa snuggled us by the campfire. We could hear elk bugling and so Diesel starting complaining. There is always a squirt bottle near us when we camp - Momma and Papa just have to pick it up and we know to be quiet. Sometimes.

Father and Samuel loved the train and said anyone who likes trains must go. None of us were happy about posing for the last picture. Diesel has some coordination problems and tipped over for the picture.
