Sleeping Giant with Sunshade and Miss Elaine

Mom and Miss Elaine had decided weeks before they arrived in Connecticut, that they wanted all of us to climb Sleeping Giant together. 
We had a beautiful day - partly sunny and partly cloudy and temps were around 70 degrees, which is perfect for hiking!
 Sunshade has her cooling coat on.  Mom loves her color style - purple and red!
 The Mountain Laurels were blooming everywhere!  What a shame they don't have a fragrance but they sure are beautiful.  Mountain Laurel is Connecticut's state flower.
 The hoomans have not stopped chatting since Miss Elaine has arrived!
 Molly was in her glory with soooooooooo many new smells to check out!
 Miss Sunshade was off-leash the whole time!   Lucky girl!
 We made it to the castle at the top of Sleeping Giant!
 It's all ramps to the top so Sunshade had no problems~
She climbed all the way to the tippity top!
 Sunshade is 13.5 years old and she climbed Sleeping Giant all the way to the top of the castle! She is amazing and she had a great time doing it!
 Yes, Molly - you did too, but you're only a year old! hehe
 Now you know we eventually had to pose for shots.    You gotta check out the pose Sunshade chose!  She stayed that way for so many pictures!  She loves the camera and the camera loves her!

 We are just thrilled that we got to climb Sleeping Giant with Miss Elaine and Sunshade!
Guess where we went for dindin?  Glenwood for burgers and hotdogs and sweet potato fries. Mom didn't get any pictures there because she was having too much fun talking and stuffing her face but we all had a great time - and yes, we all get sweet potato fries!

We hope Miss Elaine and Sunshade never leave!

So until next time............

Love ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly

  11. Wilberforce sits just like Sunshade. Love the coat - it never gets hot enough to wear something like that here, worse luck.
    We are envious of the sweet potato fries.
