fourth of july trip-2

the second day we were there, uncle sam brought over his two new puppies to meet us. the kids were in heaven. they love animals, but they really love dogs. 

we sat out side and played with the puppies and the kids rolled around and chased them in the grass.

 here are the kids, trying to get acquainted with the dogs. i think the pups were a little shy at first.

 bear found briea's binkie and decided it was a good chew toy!

 the is the other pup, abby

 i thought this was a fun picture because growing up garrran's nickname was bear. here he is holding bear! they are cute together.

i love these next two pictures. briea just loved those pups. they were very good with here. she was trying to be gentle but did not always succeed. however, those pups never snipped at her or anything.

 the boys have been talking about getting a dog long before we met uncle Sam's dogs, however now it is worse. we had to explain that for right now we have enough craziness in our lives, we don't need a puppy just yet ;0)

look at that! pure love!!
