Hanging out with the Simons

While in Leucadia, we again park the RV at the Simon's house. They also have family dinners planned for Thanksgiving.  Suzy is an amazing chef and does a bang up job cooking up a feast.
To work off all the great food and to give the hounds a good run, we all head off for the dog beach in Del Mar.

Hounds crowd into the back of Simon's Suburu

Beautiful afternoon on the Dog Beach

Cono is quite the character and loves to play games with his large red ball

Retrieving from the water

Rolling the ball down the sand dune

All the dogs (and people) have a great time romping together in the late afternoon sunshine.

Checkers makes a friend

Toby checks out the rocks

Mary is happy to be alive and on the beach

and a good time is had by all.

Peter, Mary, Toby, Cono, Checkers

Golden hour

The next day we hike up Quail Canyon.

Are we there yet?

Puppies play in morning mist

The guys prove you're never too old to enjoy a swing

old tire swing beckons

Jamie takes the plunge

Yup - my lens is starting to show its age
Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera {hint}
