Quinn got to hear a presentation on land and sea turtles, and got to touch one of the rescued loggerheads from a disturbed nest.

Our friend W (oddmix's LJ-less "MDW") is farm-sitting for us while we are on vacation. I had let her know that I hadn't been able to put the time in to get the dogs in the water. She and the kids provided the training and cheering, and the pups' mom, Java, provided supervision. End result: as pictued. And as W puts it so eloquently, "W00t and squee!" I just got another MMS notification that a picture of both Jack and Grace in the water is downloading. Fetching, retrieving water dogs! Thank you, W!




ETA: Did something I rarely do, added a new userpic...The userpic is of the two dogs retrieving a stick from the water, tandem.

Quinn and <lj user=sew_200e> made this over the weekend.

Mom says he was most meticulous about the layout of the decorations and chimney.
