Snow dog

I decided to start chronologically to tell you about our trip home (I'm an engineer - sorry - I have to have a plan and order to everything I do).  So chronologically - the first fun adventure on our trip was a stop on our way home.  We stopped in Virginia and there was still quite a lot of snow.  Our dog loves cold weather - and apparently the snow.  (which we wouldn't know since we live down south where it gets cold but never seems to snow...) 

Anyway, at our stop in Virginia we found a great area (a little too close to the highway for mama's liking...) that was untouched snow and big enough for the dog to get off his leash and he and Eric to play a bit.  They had a blast.  Eric let him off his leash and was throwing him snow balls.  Mason LOVED it.

Without further ado...the fun pictures mama took and a dog's recipe for snow fun...

Mason says "You have to concentrate, really concentrate on that snowball Daddy has...

Watch very closely...and get ready...

Then when he throws the snowball ... JUMP!

Sometimes you have to jump really high...

and catch!!

Then play around some more....

and repeat..."

Wow!  What fun they had in the snow.  Too bad when we actually got to Ohio there was very little snow (compared to this 6" or more in Virginia).  He still got to go out and play in it some - romp around with my parents dog and the boys as they had a snowball fight.

But mostly he reverted to his FAVORITE hobby - looking out the window watching squirrels.  He was here most of the entire vacation...

It makes me want to sing, "How much is that doggy in the window?" 

 

"Ruff Ruff!"

lol.  Mason had a great vacation.  I will tell you about our half of it later too.
