We survived!

The Grand Canyon extravaganza went better than planned!! While it was a little on the chilly side... and that really is an understatement, it really didn't affect the weekend. It was a little disconcerting when Sadie's water froze and we woke up able to see our breath in the tent ha ha, but all in all it wasn't too bad with lots of layers, a nice hot fire, and a heater in our tent. Sadie did soooooo good and we are super proud of her. She had 0 accidents, came when she was called, and did wonderfully in the tent snuggling up to us and helping keep us warm. This was the longest car ride she's ever had as well, and she did great! She slept in the back most of the time and whimpered a little when she had to go to the bathroom. We also found out that she can hold it for about 8 hours in a tent! She's only 3 months old... not sure how that is possible but can't say we mind at all! She was pretty much the star of the show at the rim of the Canyon, and EVERYONE wanted to pet her and play with her. She even managed to make it into a group photo of about 25 Japanese tourists. Wish we would have captured the shot, it was hilarious! All in all, the weekend was quite a success. Great food, great company, great fun, great big hole in the ground. We love camping!

Camping! Are we nuts?

Soooo we're going camping this weekend at the Grand Canyon.  Weather.com says it's going to be in the 40's in the day and 15 degrees at night!  Also, 30% chance of p.m. showers on Saturday with wind.  This is also going to be Sadie's first camping adventure.  AND, she can't really "hold it" for more than 4 or 5 hours, so hopefully she will whine when she has to go instead of peeing inside our tent.  AND, hopefully she won't get hypothermia and die from the cold.  AND hopefully she'll let us sleep and not jump all over us trying to lick our faces all night.  That being said, we REALLY want to go!  There are so many unpredictable factors... this could be one really crazy interesting weekend.  Yikes... stay tuned.
