Zou animated at the A. River!

 We drove Zouey to the river park in town and let 'er rip!

 She's still too skittish and chicken about meeting people, but we're working on that, and she is getting better slowly...  She liked this little guy pretty well though.



 Bill sporting the latest in Walmart fashion (actually, I'm a BIG Walmart shopper!  And I love their clothes - reasonable styles, materials, fit, and prices!).

 Yep, Zou's definitely part water dog!  She LOVES to play in it!  The only thing better than that is...

 playing in it with a stick!!

 Good clean fun, for sure!



  

 With...

and without rafts...

 Some cool music-makers in the park.



Ditching the kitties!

 There's base-jumping, bungee-jumping, and now - the latest craze - ditch-jumping!

In the grand tradition of folks like Nik Wallenda and Evil Knievel, we proudly introduce Scary Scratty and...

Tricky Tractor!








Kitty caboose

 A full exploration of our KOA yields interesting results - good climbing platforms in the form of a little water tank structure and a caboose-shaped grill...

 Tractor travels every plank...

 And then on to join Scratty...

 on the caboose grill.

 "Can I come up?"

 "Say the password!"

 "Hey Dad!  What's the password??"

 "Move over Scrat!   I know The Word!!!  It's T-U-N-A!!!!!"

 The terrible twosome (oh wait, that's Mizzou and Tractor!  I guess these two would be more like the tolerable twosome...?).

"Phew!  All to myself again!  Stupid boys!  Don't they know?  They belong DOWN THERE!!"

But then...why walk...

...when you can RIDE!!!!

 Yeah, you DEFINITELY knew these photos were coming, right?!!





 More strangers appreciating the Motorcycle Mama and Trucker Tractor...  Our cats have got to be all over the internet (esp. Facebook) by now - but not put there by us!  Tons of people have taken their pictures and posted them.

 Tracky Rides Again!

 Father and son spending quality time together.

Tractor lives up to his name, 4-wheeling all over the bike.

And, of course, father and daughter too!  Can't leave out the girl!

Walking the...

DOG cat...

 You knew I was getting around to these pics, right?!  What's a camping trip without cat walks!

 And meeting the neighbors, esp. the young ones.

 Zou thinks this is stupid.  "What's wrong with this picture?!  Didn't you forget something here? Or someone?  Like me?!!!!"

 Tractor rubs it in and climbs the tree right next to Zou in the window!

But then we take THE dog and THE cat out together...

 and life is good...

I love the doggy shadow!!

 Ain't she cute?!

 Tractor finds some more admirers.

 Scratty strikes out for her turn on the leash.

 And finds some friends too!  Meet Jesse (little boy) and Max (little dog).

Both cats love to roll.  Nothing better than being covered in dirt and debris.  And Scratty absolutely excels in finding the dirtiest dirt!
