Summer country vacation

We spent this past Labor Day weekend in the Catskills. I love spending time in the country and I especially love that Harry enjoys the country so much as well. He really is so happy, almost uninhibited and very independent- he gallivants around the rented home exploring all the rooms, romps in the yard, plays fetch, follows us around, and then is just exhausted come evening time. He usually finds his way to bed early!

One of funniest/cutest things we discovered is that Harry loves to swing. We put him on porch swing and he wouldn't get off. I had to literally pick him up, out of the swing or he could have just stayed there all evening. The next morning, he actually ASKED to go outside to get onto the swing! (evidence at the end of the post!)

Insta-pets

We've got so many great pictures of the animals, taken on our iPhones and Instagram-ing them has just been amazing. It makes such beautiful pictures that I sometimes can't believe they're coming from a phone. They really make the best models! Here are just a few of our favorites:
