A Holiday Weekend

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Ammo

Over the 4th of July Weekend mom and I took a little extra time off from working at the shop. I work pretty hard, and it’s nice to take a break sometimes to unwind and have some fun. Of course my family’s idea of fun is squeezing in as many adventures as possible – so I made sure to do a little bit of everything over the weekend!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked things off with a campfire in the backyard. Because it wouldn’t be the 4th without a good old fashioned weenie roast. (don’t worry….actual dachshund wasn’t on the menu)

Then it was time for a Saturday morning breakfast out in town, followed by catching a game of little league baseball. After all I gotta get practicing my team coaching skills for when my little sister gets here and is ready to join a sports team!

Then it was time to celebrate a very special ladies’ 92 Birthday! I loved getting to celebrate my Super MomMom’s B-day with the family.

Family makes everything more fun!

Of course it wouldn’t be a “vacation” if I didn’t do some laps around the farm.

Just enough to warrant a 3 hour nap of course!

I even got to check out a hot air balloon launch. It was pretty cool, but I’m pretty happy just watching from the ground….that fire looked terrifying!

While I’m not a huge fan of fireworks (I alternate between hiding in the basement, and barking my head off at them in anger….can’t make up my mind if I’m scared or just pissed really), I did track down some of “nature’s fireworks” with a sunset trip to the lake. Nothing better.

4th of July was finally here and I couldn’t miss the celebration in town. Good food and family fun, a perfect way to celebrate America!

Then it’s off to the farm again to track down some groundhogs.

Well, and maybe do a farm chore or two too!

And to end the perfect holiday weekend, a cookout of epic proportions….where corn on the cob is necessary for a small dachshund’s survival. (well at least thats what I would have my family think…..and you better not tell them otherwise!)

I’m pretty sure after this weekend I’m going to need to sleep for an entire week. What sort of fun did your pups get into? Any other dogs out there can’t make up their mind about how they feel about fireworks?

Happy 4th of July!

4th of July Fun

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Ammo

Oh glorious Fourth of July – a celebration of my country that also brings cookouts, trips to the park, and a romp in the brandywine river, what’s not to love?

I dressed in some festive Fourth of July colors and headed down to a local park for the yearly Downingtown Good Neighbor Day Celebration.

After meeting and greeting with all my “neighbors”, I was ready for something sweet.

Dad picked us up from soda from the Freaky Dog Soda shop (although all I got was water to wet my whistle) and then we headed to the Brandywine to get our feet wet.
