The event was the Canine Classic, which took place at Paws Up Ranch, and it was a rockin' time. I will be going every year from here on out. This was a running and hiking event and had distances from a two-mile hike to a half-marathon. We did the two-mile hike because I wasn't sure how the monkey was going to hang in her new pack...but she did all right.
Anna and her many sleep-in-the-pack poses!
After the hike we headed back to the picnic pavillion for a bbq lunch. Can you believe I didn't even get a picture of the gourmet spread? Clearly my head was elsewhere. Like wrangling Miss Thang, who was only interested in hamburgers, canines and eating rocks.

The coolest part of the day was seeing how many people came out to support our local Humane Society. If I remember correctly $15k was raised on Sunday. Wow. Missoulians love their animals, so I am not surprised. But still, pretty awesome.
This was the perfect way to spend our Sunday. We needed a day away from the same old toys, same old living room, same old high chair. And you know what? No more excuses not to keep doing stuff like this. It wasn't dreadful getting out of the house, it just took a little forethought.
We rounded out our perfect afternoon with a perfect evening. Leftover pumpkin soup, my friend Jenny and her daughter Chloe and red wine. Our girls played, we sipped wine and we tried to avoid the fact that Monday was staring us straight in the face.
I went to bed Sunday night with a full heart, a full belly and with dreams of our next adventures. No more sitting at home, no more excuses. Life is so much fuller when you fill it. And filled it we did this weekend. To the brim.
