8/18/12

Today was a busy, but very fun day!

First up, we had some breakfast and got ready for the day. Then, we all made our way to the PetSmart store. We were off to finally get Chuy a collar and tags, and were going to invest in some nail clippers since they won't clip his nails without up to date vaccinations. We checked out all of the animals...the fish, the birds (I REALLY want some birds), the rodents and the cats. There were some SUPER cute cats up for adoption, and they had a few dogs there for adoption too. Big dogs, which I REALLY want, but Amelia is terrified of dogs. I'm not sure if she'll ever get over it.

While we were there, we talked to their clinic. We found out the check up and rabies vaccinations wasn't horribly expensive, and that it's best we get back on track with vet visits, so we ended up getting him in for an exam and shot later in the afternoon, and they clipped his nails for us. Works out better, because I'm really not comfortable clipping his nails.

So, after naps, Christian and Olivia took care of his appointment, while Amelia and I ran to Target. We had to pick up a few groceries and necessities, particularly for tonight. Tonight, we camped out in the backyard! We set up a tent, grilled dinner on a little camping grill, had a bonfire and s'mores, and played outside all night. The girls had such a blast playing in the tent and "roughing it". It was some really great, much needed, family time for all of us. We ended up having Amelia sleep in on her own bed, then settled in for the night. It was pretty cold out, and started raining shortly after we settled in...so, we spent the night half awake wondering if the rain guard would give out. Christian ended up getting too cold in the middle of the night, and headed inside. Olivia and I toughed it out though, all night long. YAY!

Here are some pictures of our camping adventures. Good times :)
