On Sunday, Mark got in from a road trip in the late afternoon, so that evening we went over to Mike and Meg's house to cookout and hangout. A highlight for Nina was playing with Stella. Mike taught Nina how to use commands and hand signals to get Stella to sit, stay, drop her toy, and retrieve it after Nina threw it. To Stella's credit, she is very well trained and very patient, so she tolerated Nina's over excitement and humored her by performing all the commands over and over only to get her toy bird thrown about four feet. Thanks, Meg, for the pictures.
Dog training and child training can be a little frustrating. Now Nina knows how we feel...
We didn't even have to go anywhere to see good fireworks. The Clarkes came back over to our house (thankfully we live 7 min. from each other) so we could put the girls to bed. Then, the people a few houses down from us put on quite a nice fireworks show, so we sat outside and enjoyed the free show!
