All in a weekend- Birdies, Sun & Water

This weekend with the weather in the high 90's we headed out bright and early Saturday morning with the boys to meet up with Lisa and her girls to head down to the trainer for some training before it got to be too hot to do anything. We met up Andy and his wife LoAnne and their boys Oscar and Chase and Dick and his boy Max who were training as well. This weekend we worked on more backing for Odin as this is his main area of concern and some fine tuning for hunting season.

While at the trainer we also decided to continue Loki's introduction to birds and based on how well he has been doing and his reaction to the pop gun and the shotgun last weekend we decided it was time to introduce him to the shotgun. After a few rounds at distances that got closer to him each time with no problems, Chris decided it was time to go for it and let him have his own bird. Boy was he a happy bird dog once he got his bird.

Since the weather wasn't cooling off on Sunday we headed down to Ben's cousins- Mike and Pam who live on Lake Hicks for a day of fun. We spent our afternoon floating around, swimming and Ben got to go tubing. The day ended with a great BBQ dinner before we packed up to head home with two very tired boys, three if you include Ben :)
