Lake Havasu

As it happens some weekends we don't want to get out of pjs and we want to sleep for days straight. Other weekends we load up the Pattywagon and explore this grand ole state. This weekend, the adventure took us to Lake Havasu (also called Arizona's vacation playground...). We went to meet up with my mom and Darrel, but many other vacationers were celebrating spring break. 

Anywho, we had a great time. Activities included pool time, walking across the original London Bridge, pretending to be in London, finding a local dog park for Jackson, witnessing a pug birthday party, picnic time in the state park, and sticking our toes in the freezing cold but oh so clear water.

(There it is! The London Bridge that was falling down and then was transported to AZ...)

(Jackson was on full lifeguard duty but turns out there was a sign that said "no pets"...whoops)






(Jackson made friends with a Canadian!)

Springtime in the Desert

In my effort to get everyone to move to Arizona (because making friends as an adult is hard work), I present to you springtime in our backyard.

I would also like to remind you all that Arizona does not participate in daylight savings and our backyard is basically a large succulent garden. 

Adventures of Jackson

It's been a while since there has been an update on Jackson and let me tell you, he has been one busy pup!

He hung out at Home Depot and only barked at a few children.

He built a planter box for my herbs.

(it's all very serious business)

He saw a coyote in the neighborhood and decided they don't smell like nice dogs.
He had an interview at boarding camp and passed!
He found water in Tucson and attempted to fetch the rocks from the bottom of the creek.

He hung out with his aunt Tracei.

He welcomed baby hummingbirds into the world. 

He spent a weekend at boarding camp and came back exhausted.

Overall, life as Mr. Brown has been pretty swell lately.
