Exhausted...

that's what our boys are feeling right now. We picked them up yesterday afternoon from the Athens Y Camp. After three full days of adventure (swimming, hiking, chasing the other dogs & campers) the boys were ready to take a long, long nap. As soon as we got them in the car, they fell fast asleep (only waking briefly for meals and a few snacks), and they were still asleep when I left for work this morning.

Friday was my first visit to the Athens Y Camp. My husband has dropped Brady & Cooper off the last few times they've been lucky enough to spend a few days at the camp. Located in the beautiful mountains of northeast Georgia near Lake Rabun, the Athens Y Camp has been a fun, summer getaway for years. I have to admit, as we drove away on Friday afternoon while Brady & Cooper swam in the lake, I was a little jealous of the weekend they had in store!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend. Any fun stories to share? I'd love to hear them!

Off to Summer Camp!

Ok, I'll admit it, our boys are spoiled. Spoiled rotten. My husband and I are going away this weekend, and instead of boarding the boys at the local kennel, what do we do? We send them to summer camp. Before you start laughing, let me explain. One of our good friends is the director of the Athens Y Camp - a summer camp in Northeast Georgia. He and his family watched the boys last year when we were on our honeymoon, and camp is where they first learned to swim. The boys LOVE going to camp. When we told them they were going this weekend, they got really excited. Alright, maybe that's an exaggeration - I'm not sure if they really understood what we were saying, but I like to think so. Anyway, we plan to drop them off at camp on Friday, and they'll spend the rest of the weekend playing with the campers, chasing wildlife and swimming all day long. I think it's safe to say they'll be happy {and exhausted} dogs when we pick them up on Sunday.
