OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS

 

I spent the weekend in the woods again.  On the way to the woods, my very cool grand-dog, Scout, watched clouds from the car window.

A couple of hitchhikers tried to convince us to give them a ride.

But, we left them standing on the side of the road and headed to the cabin, where three of my grands and Scout studied the woods from our new screened porch.

A vintage truck in the cornfield was a fun discovery, and a good photo op.

You had me at the first photo! I was actually looking for a photo of a dog in sunglasses for a recent dog days post. Didn't see ANY as cute as yours.

I also love those shots on the truck. They look like a page out of a magazine.

It looks like wonderful family fun to me!

I love your title and started singing. The photos of the girls on the top of the beautiful old truck is just adorable. I love old trucks and the swimming photos are fantastic. All the photos are great. It looks like a great weekend in the woods. I am hoping we are off the bay area to enjoy the ocean tomorrow it's been so hot here. Have a wonderful weekend. Big hugs
