What a packed weekend!  It was great, we got to see all the families and do some camping and Fitz had a blast.

Friday night I picked Ryan up in Boston and we drove back to NY.  Saturday after sleeping in (which is why we did the late night drive) we got packed up to head up to Knox!  It was muddy this year due to all the rain but the campsite was dry and Mom and Dad had gone up Friday and mowed the campsite as well as set up a canopy already so setup was easy.

We relaxed all day and Fitz was great off-leash the whole time – plus he loved to swim!  I think he’s part beaver because he thought it was his mission to remove all sticks from the pond (and of course we kept throwing them back in for him), then he’d chew them – crazy dog 🙂

He jumped in the second he saw the water, we were surprised and excited. It was so hot and muggy he probably thought this would cool him off 🙂

Retrieving another stick, beaver-lab mix 🙂

Who needs toys when there are sticks to chew?

Sunday as we were eating a late (and hearty) breakfast we saw the storm clouds coming so we raced to pack up the campsite so the tents could be packed up dry (well mostly dry – the dew was crazy heavy due to the high humidity).  Then we waited out the pouring rain before trecking back to the cars and heading out.

On the way back we stopped by Ryan’s mom’s house (she just got a new house) and Fitz got to play with her 3 dogs.  After dinner we headed back to my parents with a tired puppy sleeping in the back 🙂  After another night relaxing, we went down to Ryan’s dad’s house on Monday for lunch before driving home.  We picked up the posts he’s been making!  Holy cow – 6 posts already done – made from 6×6 pressure treated wood and they look great.  I will snap a picture tonight hopefully.  That’s about half of what we need for our crazy huge porch and we can’t wait to get them installed!
