Buddy & Hiro enjoy a day at the beach

Buddy and Hiro while not particularly fond of water love to run and play on the beach. However, since Hiro would follow Frank anywhere on earth, a little tummy splash was inevitable.

The Food & Wine festival takes place each February on Miami Beach.

The event is held in a huge series of tents on the Beach. Here Dave is seen chatting up Ribs with Al Roker while Frank was at the Godiva tent eating chocolates.

What NOT to do while skiing

Dog Sledding in Canada...Mush, Mush, Mush!

Typically when skiing for a week, we take one day of rest and enjoy an alternative activity like snow mobiling or sleigh riding. This year we went on a Dog Sled adventure and it was just a blast. First we bonded with our pack of four dogs and made special friends with "Senator" our lead sled dog. One might think it is cruel to have dogs pull a sled with two adults in the cold but let me tell you these dogs LOVE to pull the sled and can't wait to do so. At times you have to apply the snow breaks because the dogs just want to run as fast as they can. After our ride we got to feed the dogs treats and hot chicken soup and then we visited the Husky Puppy pen where if I had my way, Buddy and Hiro would have a new Brother or Sister or two. It's hard to think of Buddy and Hiro pulling a sled unless the sled in front had a hamburger tied to it.
