Ely trip!

With Grampa's birthday on September 3rd and Labor Day on the 6th, the 2-leggeds took a few days off so we could go up to Ely and help celebrate!

I'm wondering about what could be going on
but SOMETHING must be happening.

While older dogs just rub their snout in the coarse dry grass.

And west across the bottom of the lake we go.

We stopped to eat a picnic lunch at a favorite NFS
campground along US2. Wanoka, for anyone who's wondering.

We made it!

Breakfast on Friday.

Grampa! I like Cheerios too ya know. And milk.
But not bananas, you can finish those.

Ya we're ready to celebrate Grampa's big day.

First off, we can hunt the squirrel together!
Grampa likes to cheat and use the pellet gun.

We'll all keep an eye out.

Old dogs don't mind staying close by.

While younger ones appreciate getting out!

We went for a romp at Hidden Valley again,
to check the progress on the new mountain bike trails.

They have spruce bud worm here too.

Things continue to shape up.

Oh hey! We got to meet one of the trail crew.

He let me jump up in the cab!

Oh ya, you must be the friendliest trail builder around.

Lotsa rocks, such a surprise....
