We started out Saturday morning going over to our flyball friends Kris & Carrie's house for a delicious breakfast of sweet potato pancakes and bacon. Then we trained our dogs for a little while and took them all on a nice long hike. We had 7 dogs total and they all got along really well. It was surprisingly relaxing. Then we came home and Finley had a long nap because she was so tried after getting up at the early hour of 8:30 am. Ben and I got some work done around the house and then we relaxed around the house. When Finley got up she Skyped with her Gran and Pop, we ordered some takeout and watched Elf. We rarely sit around and watch a movie all together, so that was really nice. Finley is just now old enough to sit through a whole movie.
Today we took Pax, Spy (our whippet puppy) and Finley to Cambridge. We went to the Museum of Natural History. We didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked, but Fin was actually interested in looking at a lot of the animals. We also got some desserts at a bakery, some Indian food to go for dinner tonight and bagels and cream cheese to eat in the car on the way home. We were also able to walk the whippets around and socialize the puppy with all sorts of scary things. She wasn't actually scared of anything..very brave puppy! We came home at around four and watched some TV and relaxed around the house. It was just the weekend we needed. The only downside is that I didn't get any photos and I still need to learn how to use my complicated new camera!
Some things Finley has said in the last few days...
- someone asked how Finley's pop was doing and she said "he only has 1 hip" (because he is in the process of a hip replacement)
- she's been asking for us to leave her bedroom door open a crack when she goes to bed. It's very cute
- She's just about able to count to 10, but mostly says the numbers out of order.
- She asks one of us to do something and then if we do it, she says "good jobbie", which she got from our flyball friends rewarding their dogs
-Last night she asked Ben if he wanted to hear a joke and he said OK and she said "Goose" and then another one was "Pax". Very cute!
