SUMMER!!!!

So Summer is finally here!!!! YEAH!!!! It has been long in waiting. So to celebrate this most favored solstice of the year we hopped into our Jolly Roger, set our sails and went to Saratoga to play in the lake we also tried to get into the hot pool, but it was way too hot. We also on a separate day went south of town for fun. We went on a dirt road that we have never before explored. It was a very pretty area. So for those of you that have no idea what our area of the world looks like you will now get a small peak at what we see here. I was going to say civilization but that would be silly since there really is none here. LOL!!! Just when I can't stand this place another day summer hits and the beauty around us magically appears. I love the summers here they are the best. Okay so the slide show thing isn't working. I need help!!! I have spent all day tring to make it happen and I can't figure it out.
As for an update on our goings on:
Mario Girl's Bunny Oreo has mites and has scratched off a lot of fur. So we took her(Oreo) to the vet and got her mites taken care of. I wish I could take my kids to the vet it is sooooo much cheaper. Plus M.G.'s hair is amazing! Check it out!
Before
After

One-Eyed-Jack is the same nothing sad or exciting has happened. That is good cuz we don't need too much excitement at one time. He can wait his turn.
Cap'n Mo has been working A LOT!!!! It makes for nice checks but we miss him tons!!!
As for me I am recovering from a major cold or bronchitis that I got the day after our great rafting adventure. I think that is because Cap'n kept pushing me into the cold river water. I am also recovering from the shock of having to clean up sewage from my basement. This has been the longest week ever!
My dog Genevieve had a strange episode last night that scared all of us to death. It appears that she may have had a seizure. We take her to the vet on Friday. We just don't seem to have luck with our animals. We have one cat that has asthma and goes into anaphilactic shock on occasion, another cat that has a bladder problem so she has to be on steroids so she doesn't pee on everything. She also lives outside, cuz of her sad bladder. We once had a ferret with cancer. He died.
Anyway check out the videos and slide show.

Beer & brown lawn?

Cap'n Mo read that if you put beer on the brown spots on the lawn where the dog pees then it neutralizes the acid in the pee and so the grass will grow green again. So Monday when we got back from rafting we went and bought the cheapest beer we could find. Being pirates tho we should have used RUM. Cap'n Mo poured all the beer on the lawn. Hopefully it will work. Otherwise all we have is a very drunk & stinky lawn. Here are some pix

Here is a pic of a strip out by the road that I am tring to improve. It was just full of weeds and wild flowers when Mo threw seeds out there. It really looked sloppy. Now it has very sad plants that I transplanted from other parts of my yard. Hopefully they will recover.

And last of all here is a pic I found of Sadie and Mario Girl when they were about 3 years old. It is funny to see the contrast in them.

P.S. Thanks for the advise on the Mane and Tail shampoo for Mario Girl's hair. I bought some this week and it is already helping. Her hair looks shinier and thicker. She is also neighing a lot should I worry? LOL

Rafting the Green; Pirate style!

This last weekend we and some of Captain Mo's family went to
Green River, UT and rafted down the river.
If a picture truly paints a thousand words then...
