An Update...finally (very pic heavy)

Sorry for the long hiatus from posting but we have been super busy and at the same time super lazy. Too tired to really do anything after all that we have had going on. Shortly after my sister and father left my SIL and BIL came into town for a week. We had a great time with them. Tim was their tour guide and took them all over the country. I will try and go and steal some of Tim's pictures from when they were here as I didn't have any one my computer.

Once SIL and BIL left we were on our way to Scotland for camping a.k.a. Operation Fluffy Bunny. What a gorgeous country!!!! We left Friday morning around 8 a.m. for our 8 hour drive. It was worth it though, even if we were only there for 2 days. We had friends with us. They are pictured bel0w, AJ (who is awesome), Dutchie, and Dalyah. They only got to stay 2 nights because the Air Force is stupid and we'll just leave it at that.

This was our camp site. We were right on the loch. We camped on Loch Linnhe. We were a short walking distance from the water.

It rained a little the first night and a lot of our stuff got wet. This was the clothes line that was in the site. Most camp sites don't have stuff like this, I thought it was pretty cool.
This was mine and Tim's tent, along with the puppies. It is huge but it was just the right size for all of us plus gear. We stayed pretty dry in there after we figured out where our tent was leaking from. Gotta fix that before our next camping trip.

This is Awesome AJ and Dutchie's tent. They had the "Wall of Gayness" in the middle of their tent or really the "Wall of Non-gayness" However you want to look at it. After this weekend Tim has decided to retire this tent as it got all of their stuff soaked all weekend. That tent has many many miles on it.
This is a view of our entire camp site. We had the tarp up there for keeping our stuff dry when it rained when we weren't there. It worked pretty well. As long as the wind wasn't blowing to hard.
This was our Loch. This picture was taken from our campsite. Image, we got to wake up to that for 3 days. How cool huh?

We didn't really have a third tree close enough to tie the other rope off to from the tarp so this is what was mustered up. Tim gets pretty creative on these trips.
Tim sporting his "camping gear". Sexy isn't he.
On Saturday we went to Loch Ness to find Nessie. We put the dog here so that we could go and look out into the water. they weren't really that happy about it.
We stopped on the way home at a different location on our loch. It was a little hazy out but I still felt I should post the picture.

Dakoda swimming and Tim trying to get him out. Dakoda would just swim up and down the loch till he was shaking he was so cold, but still wanted to continue to swim. Crazy dog!
Dalyah sitting.
Mountain, yes that is snow on the top.
AJ walking Maggie, or really Maggie walking AJ.
A rainbow with the boat and mountain. Very pretty. There was someone living/working on that boat. The tide came in a couple of days later and made it very easy for him to leave if he wanted to.
AJ fishing, really just casting, none of them caught anything. They all seemed to have fun regardless.
Tim walking on the bank of the loch drinking his scotch that he bought in town that day. He found better stuff on Sunday.
Tim was more or less walking up and down the bank with the dog who was swimming again. That dog loves to swim.

One of my favorites

On Sunday Awesome AJ, Dutchie, and Dalyah had to go home, so Tim and I were on our own with the puppies. We first walked around town. We went and saw the ruins of this castle (will try and post pic, Tim's camera again) and just when I thought I was going to be done, I decided that we should go to the Ben Nevis Falls that the lady at our camp site told us about. It was worth it.

Tim is at the stage where he will do just about anything for a good picture. Here he decided to go crawling around in the rocks to get pictures of the rushing water. The pictures came out good which is all that really matters in his eyes.
Can you still see him in there? He's there. The best part was that there was a Japanese tourist group behind us that we pasted earlier and they were all taking pictures of him down in the rocks. They saw me and gave me a puzzled look and I just pointed to the direction of Tim and they all started to take out their cameras. Too funny. Gotta love those Japanese people.
This is right by the Falls.
Taken from the ground. I just thought it looked cool.

The Ben Nevis Falls.

The last night in Scotland was pretty fun. We were left with some beer that we didn't really want to carry home and there was no way that we were both going to drink it all in one night either. So we decided to offer it to our Scottish neighbors Ronny and Rosey. What a fun couple! We went up there just to bring beer and ended up staying the entire night. We were suppose to go to bed at 8:30 so we would get lots of sleep for our long drive home but bedtime turned into 1 a.m. It was worth it though. Ronny even let Tim try and play the bagpipes. What a sight! I wish I had a camera with me. Ronny ended up giving us a Scottish flag to hang up and a bottle of ale that is only found in Scotland. Those Scots are pretty nice people.

That is all for now. I have other news to report as well but that will come at a later date, I'm to tired as it is a long story as well. Maybe this weekend. If you ever get the chance to go and travel do it, you won't regret it one bit!!
