Memorial Day Weekend

We started Memorial Day Weekend out with some agility Friday night! One of the club members sent us some great shots of our dogs. We were praticing jumping sequences....it's tricky to get your crosses the right way and tell your dog what to do and stay out of their way....

Josh is such a funny dog, look at his crazy hair flying.....and he cleared that jump by a mile! Josh will compete jumping at 24'', but we just practice at 16'' because he and McKenzie are just 18 months old.

He is very good at watching Ryan....if I jumped while looking in another direction I would land on my face. I might land on my face jumping and watching where I am going.....

We can't wait to start competing!

McKenzie is so fast and so driven....she absolutely loves to work and have a job....typical aussie. She also amazes me with her reasoning abilities. She really thinks things through. She did a sequence of jump, jump, jump, pause table and the first time, she slid off the end of the table...I think she thought it was going to be a jump. We tried again and she slowed down and delicately jumped and sat on the table, you could totally see her calculating her way onto it. She hasn't missed the table since!

On Sunday morning we also went to an agility and rally practice with my parents and brother and sister. We got to do a whole agility course with the dogs, and practice rally.

Saturday Ryand took Dustin paintballing and my Mom, Jenna and I went garage saling and shopping! My Mom took me to Motherhood Maternity and bought me some maternity clothes....thanks Mom! That afternoon we went to our gym and went swimming. I am so excited that our gym has a huge outdoor pool that we can use all summer. We went back to our house and BBQ'd steak and corn. Yum. We also made a campfire and smores!

Sunday after dog training Ryan took Jenna for a ride on Bonnie, and took Dustin on Dakota, for a ride out in the desert. Then we went back to the KOA and played ladderball. I would like to point out that I won! We celebrated with Dairy Queen. Monday Ryan had to work, so I headed out to the campgrounds for a final breakfast before the family headed back home. It was a great weekend!!
