Dog Park

Sylvie spends her Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with Grandma, Papa and Hank. Papa sent me this picture from his cell phone today to show me the kind of fun they were up to.

Walking Hank

Grandma and Papa's dog Hank has been staying with us for about 2 and a half weeks now while Grandma and Papa celebrate their 34th anniversary with a safari through Africa with friends. [Thomas and I have made a mental note to celebrate our 34th anniversary exactly the same way.] One of Sylvie's favorite things about having "Hankie" around is that most nights we take him for a walk up to the local school yard.

Tonight Thomas decided that he and Hank should have a turn on the slide.
Sylvie found this, at first, concerning.

And then...

HILARIOUS.

The 4 Days of Hank

Sylvie's Grandma and Papa took a 4 day vacation to Florida to visit some family and needed a Hank-sitter. They knew Sylvie was just the girl for the job. It was a very exciting 4 days!
When Hank first arrived, Sylvie really enjoyed telling him "No! No!" But with a little help from Mama, we made a switch and Sylvie spent most of the 4 days telling Hank "Doo Dog!" (that's "Good Dog!"). Plus, Hank got lots of kisses.

It was really fun to take Hank for a walk at night!

Our walk took us past the local elementary school and Sylvie and I couldn't resist a trip down the slide.

Well, actually, Sylvie wanted to go down with Hank but had to settle for Mama. No dogs allowed!
