Glorious Mountain Fun!

For some reason the onset of summer is not quite as hard to stomach this year.  I think it is because of the following items that are now on my regular "to-do" list:

1. Make and consume deliciously tasty mojito with yummy fresh mint
2. Sit on fresh cut green grass in back yard to watch pippy's frolic
3. Catch up with hubby on daily updates while said hubby prepares grill
4. Grill, grill, and grill some more. Steaks, kabobs, shrimp, salmon - you name it!  We grill it!
5. And last bu not least - weekend trips up north!

We kicked off the season's trips with an incredibly relaxing weekend near Payson with some of our closest buddines, the Croners & The Weflens.  l actually packed for chilly weather and instead we found mid-70's all weekend.  I walked away with my first sunburn of the spring/summer!  Damn this fair German skin...

 Murphy and his girlfriends all bummed around - he just piled right on their little bottoms it was so cute.

 Only a mother....

 Andy was the king of comedy all day.  Who knew that Lincoln could play the drums and that Murphy could do the "sprinkler?!!"

 Glorious picnics and games in the sun!  The pups were exhausted by 1 PM.  Total bums

 My handsome was really handsome that day

 All the ladies!

By the end of the night, Murphy was completely inappropriate.  He kept wanting to streak in the creek.

Looking forward to many more fun weekends in the high country this summer!
