We've had a bunch of stress lately, and it being our 6th anniversary (yay, happy anniversary to us), we decided to take an overnighter to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to relax and not think about problems. (I know that Bella & Ripley's Mom, Pam, has been there before) Malone had so much fun with us! We went on some nature walks, played ball, and basically had undivided attention for almost 2 whole days! I thought I would share some pictures with you...I took lots more, but they probably be boring unless you had been there.


We stopped on the side of the road just as we entered the real mountainous area. We walked around taking pictures of water falls. Here Malone was trying to come see his Mommy.





We stopped at this cute country store that was actually located in a covered bridge. It was very cute & pricey, and Malone got a brandy new bandana out of that stop! Here he is, my very HAPPY boy!! this is my favoritest picture of all of them





Stopping to smell the flowers on a nature walk to "Diana's Baths", a very beautiful water falls. The walk was about 1.6 miles one way...very enjoyable, and not very buggy.






Posing in front of Diana's Baths. Right after this picture was taken disaster struck. Mark went on ahead to get a couple more pictures, and I stayed behind with Malone. All of a sudden he went crazy (butt-tucking is what we call it) and he leapt from the rock about 6' down. I was mid jump when the retractable leash got stuck, and I ended up falling flat on my face. How very embarrassing!!! I let go of the leash and he took off at 90 mph. I was so scared and screaming my head off. He came running back, and I managed to grab the rope of the leash. He took off again, and I ended up with a nasty rope burn over 4 of my fingers. It wasn't so very serious, and today I'm just very bruised and sore from falling. What a nawtee pup!!





Relaxing with his favorite bone that night in our cabin...

Some very beautiful waterfalls. I just wish the camera could catch the feel of the wind on your face, the whispering breeze and the call of the birds. It was so peaceful!!!





And this is the cabin that we rented. They are so dog-friendly, we are definitely going to go back there when we can stay longer.

I hope I haven't bored you, and that you have enjoyed the pictures!!
