tin can camping

this weekend we took our maiden voyage with our newly purchased 2005 22' safari.. wheeeeee!
we went south towards santa barbara, to the santa ynez mountains & met some friends at the upper oso campground.
Of course, we brought our best camping buddy with us, beef!!!

poking his head out of the top of his kennel in the pathfinder, a move we call, "the alligator"

Beef turns One!

Beef's Birthday!

Our wonderful little buddy turned one today... we gave him ice cream and cannolis ( made for dogs) to celebrate.











we love you beefers!

Indiana / Chicago Trip

June 19th - 23rd we took a trip to indiana for my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary. along came beef, as always.

we stayed in a great rental house with many of my relatives. it had a huge backyard to play in.






we went to explore the dunes state park, near lake michigan



and we walked all around chicago





most of the time, we carried beef in his sturdi bag



all that traveling makes a beef tired.
