Joel Reunion


Though Joel was not so psyched to be back from Squamish, we had a nice reunion weekend of fun before "the grind" starts up again. We relaxed on the lake at Joel's brother-in-law's cabin near Hudson where Rocco was excited to see the water again! He swam like a mad-man, this time of his own volition.

He's always liked the water, but would never swim on his own until Joel and I left him on the shore while we went sailing last year. He howled for awhile, then decided he was a swimmer and would swim across the lake to the boat. And he did. Now, he loves the water and it was fun to watch him swim again. Although sometimes, its literally a pain in the ass when he decides he doesn't want to swim anymore and decides to climb onto your butt.



That night, we enjoyed the chill music of the Solstice Festival. The bands rocked and the atmosphere was really relaxed with people just chilling on blankets. Perfect for a broken foot.












Rocco had a crazy tiring weekend with swimming and skateboarding with Joel and wrestling with his new doggie roommate Petie. They get along wonderfully and like to play nonstop in the giant backyard that is now my own.










Joel and I (well, mostly Joel) climbed on Lynn and Kris's sweet bouldering cave that is now my backyard while Rocco and Petie ran circles around us.
