What Cooper's made of...

For those of you wondering what Cooper is made of, he's jack russell plus mini schnauzer.  For those of you still wondering....

He's this.....


....plus this!


I know...we're still wondering.  But after extensive research, we can see a little of both in him.  And though he seems to look like a german shepherd, after looking at pictures, we have ruled this thought out.

Coop playing with his toys

 Cooper loves his squeaky toys!

 Super Dog to the rescue!

Coop lost his ball under the chair and decided to try to get it...to no avail. Mommy had to rescue it for him.

Cooper meets Ethan!

We were a little worried when Cooper first met Ethan.  He seemed to think that the best way to communicate with cooper was through hitting him with toys and he got overly excited when he got close to Cooper and would just flail his arms, sometimes hitting him.  Cooper wasn't sure how to respond to this type of communication.  Luckily, there was no biting or barking, he would just find me, huddle real close, and look at Ethan, trying to figure him out.  Once he did, there was no holding back!

 They both loved kisses!








 Cooper was fascinated with the oddities of a diaper.




 Cooper has no idea Ethan is about to flip him in the tent. Cooper seemed to love the attention anyway!

 We also found out Cooper loves balls!  To Ethan's dismay.  He didn't like sharing his toys!

Trek 2010


Our trek family!


Val using his mad skills as chef to make some yummy breakfast!

A good shot of our tent. 

Fun life games!

Val coming to the rescue for a broken wheat grinder!

You want us to do what??  Each of us had to go through these holes without touching the rope at all.

I think I forgot to sign my release form!  Luckily, I trusted Val not to drop me.



Crossing the river.  Val and I were excused.  We had the "I'm an adult and this is YOUR experience.  We'll be fine here on the dry bank" excuse.

Our wonderful cart and its family on our last day of trek.  Figures it wouldn't be until the last day that we finally figured out how to tie everything down without things falling off.  Grrr!
