Guess Who's In Town!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

A few months back, Cheryl and Finnegan and I were so happy to hear from Laurie, Wally and Charlotte! It turns out that Laurie would be in the area for Thanksgiving and suggested that we get together for a romp with the doodles! We decided to meet the Friday after Thanksgiving, such a fun day to look forward to after all that darn Thanksgiving Day cooking!! Laurie scouted out the area and found a beautiful fenced in soccer field, perfect for some doodle shenanigans! It was a beautiful chilly but sunny day! All together we had Cheryl and Finn, Laurie and Wally and Charlotte, and Tom and me with Jack and Jilly. Let the fun begin!!

Beautiful Wally

Walk This Way! Finn leading the prance!

Those boys can't keep up! Charlotte and Jilly are off!

Run Jack Run!

Here come Charlotte!

Love this one! Cheryl and sweet Finn!

Getting to know you!.. I love Wally's kisses!

It was so much fun to see them all running around and having a great time. Charlotte and Jilly are two peas in a pod, both about the same age, just over a year and both are little ones. They gave the boys a run for their money and the boys had no problem keeping up! Wally is so handsome with his flowing locks and Finn is as sweet and cute as can be! All in all such a fun day. And always so great to meet another DKer!

Someone thought it would be a great idea for a group photo. Who came up with this idea?! Let me just say that they're overrated. I have no words for my two in these photos! The whole scenario made me smile and check out how Finn just sits so perfectly through the whole fiasco!

I'm going with the story that they were running to Tom who was taking the photos!

What a fun day! F, we missed you. Laurie, I still don't know why you didn't drive the few hundred miles!

Hopefully this will be a new Thanksgiving tradition!

[Laurie, Wally & Charlotte]

We had an absolutely wonderful time, and I most definitely hope that it becomes a Thanksgiving tradition.  We got home late last night, and I just finished sorting through my photos from Friday.  Here are my favorites.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

You can tell me a secret, but do you have to lick my face in the process?

What’s that perfume you’re wearing?

You fake left, I’ll go right.

You sure are pretty, Charlotte, but it’s too soon to kiss you.  We just met.

One Ear Up & One Ear Down — Two Big Boys Runnin' Aroun'

Jackson Strutting His Stuff

How can you jump for joy, Finn, when someone tossed that soda can onto the soccer field?

Wally asks Finnigan to state his intentions regarding little Charlotte.

Can I try your camera, please?

Wrestle Mania

You want me to do, what?!

Alright, I’ll help you look for it.

Uh-oh.  Where did the others go?

Trifecta — Racing for the Finish Line

All that running tired Charlotte out.

Wow, what a whole bunch of gorgeous doodles.  Looks like such a wonderful place to play.  I'm surprised they allowed dogs to play there.  Great pictures and action shots.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Thanks Janie!  I'm hoping Laurie will post some of her photos too when she gets home! 

Laurie and  F, we missed you both!  

I propose a bake-off!  I volunteer to be the judge :) Camilla, you may not want to miss this LOL

The Ultimate Meet-up wow!  Do you think I can pass Finn off as a service dog so he can fly with me? Somehow I suspect the airlines will catch on when they see they have a plane full of DKers and their "service" doodles, but the thought gives me a smile! 

[Camilla and Darwin]

I love the photos so much, this looks like it was a ton of fun!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

F, let do a Spring meet up for sure! : )

Laurie, we missed you! Let's plan on a Spring meeting! Yes, my cookies are good. LOL

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Cheryl, I love all of your photos! So fun to see and they really depict the day! You're the first to catch Jilly airborn, she's so darn fast and I love how expressive the doodles were with each other!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Love, love, love the photos!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Winding down...

Charlotte's done.

Jilly too!

See you around...

Time to go.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Magnificent Wally

Here we come... doodle power!

Girl Talk

Charlotte the goalie.

Wally's quite the singer.

Heck let's all sing!

Who's left for Tom to photograph?

Flying Jilly!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

WHAT???? Rivaled my famous Sand Tarts?? I need the recipe, Janie!
