Labor Day

For Labor Day this year we met Shane's parents up at Solider Hollow to see the annual sheep herding competition. Yes-I said sheep herding. Shane's parents have a friend who herds sheep for a living and gave them some free tickets. I must admit it was a really fun, cold day! It was quite interesting to see the dogs go up the mountain and bring down 2 different groups of sheep. The other cool thing they had up there was: splash dogs. Seriously it was so funny. They had this huge pool with a long ramp going into it. The dog owners would get their dogs all excited and then get them to jump off the ramp into a pool. The competition was to see which dog could jump the farthest. One dog jumped something like 21 feet! It was amazing and so funny. As I said, it was pretty cold and rainy, but the kids had a blast and even got their faces painted. Thanks Gay and Merwin for a fun day!!!
