Well, September came and went so very quickly. The month was filled with much fun including catching up with good friends, celebrating Hallie's birthday and we ended the month by going camping....just the four of us.
We packed up all of our stuff and headed to the great outdoors. We stayed at Harry S Truman state park in Warsaw, MO for a short weekend. Porter and Tripp had a good first experience for the most part, at least after the adjustment to all the noises, especially the armadillos that enjoyed marching through our campsite at night. Rob and I were able to go fishing and took the dogs on a nice hike on a very winding trail. Below are just a few shots from our trip.

| Robby proud of his fish he finally caught. I tossed a line in early on friday and caught a bass close to this size and again on Saturday. Oh course Rob said they were both "too small" to keep. He catches one approx one inch bigger and it is definitely large enough to keep. In my heart I feel that Rob is a little jealous of my fishing skills because he never has the camera when I catch one...but by gosh I have to go get the damn camera if he catches one!!! |

| Porter the "city" dog did not enjoy the trip as much as Tripp. He growled at every noise. |
 |
| Tripp on the otherhand enjoyed chilling out at the campsite and didnt mind being by himself. |
My favorite memory of this experience included freezing our tails off at night on a deflating airmattress with two adults and two large dogs crammed on. The dogs definitely thought they were living large when we let them snuggle up with us...truth was I didn't mind because they were like giant furnaces
