Seems like we always have a houseful of kids and dogs. Sometimes more kids, sometimes more dogs. Today was no exception. We had house guests! It was our great privilege to host the owner of Kelsie's first guide dog puppy that she raised, who is now grown and a working guide dog in Santa Ana, California.
(Huge Cardinal, Cardinal eating, top - our Cleo, bottom - our Conan)
His name is Cardinal, and he is a gorgeous, huge yellow lab. He was passing through Utah with his owner and other family members and we invited them all to come and stay for the night. So of course we pulled all the troops back home for the evening to meet the guests of honor.
Everyone had a really excellent time. We ate, talked, played games, ate some more, played more games . . . well, you get the idea. Anyway, the house was filled with kids and dogs.
I was lucky to capture a few photos of the young people gathered around the piano laughing, playing some tunes, and playing ocarinas. (Does ANYONE know what an ocarina is??) It's one of my kids favorite things to do, and we have ocarinas to go around.
Then they moved on to more sophisticated instruments - GUITAR HERO!
This is "my man" in the kitchen. He really is a great entertainer, he knows his way around the kitchen for certain. I actually was in the kitchen also - but you never see me . . . because after all
I am the picture taker . . .
