Touch my Wiener dog

We learned a lot from Arches National Park. Mainly that your primary hydration fluid should not be iced coffee when hiking through the desert. Personally, I just think we needed more iced coffee. Another lesson had to do with geology and dinosaurs, but only Margot was paying attention. I think there was something about how the dinosaurs slowly nibbled away at the red rocks until they formed these really cool shapes. After Margot's near desert death experience I hiked to see another arch. There were many European tourists there as well. Did you know that some European women wear purple lacey bras, mini skirts and mascara while hiking? It's true. I love exotic cultures.

Now we are at Ann's house in Denver where red foxes walk up and down the sidewalk and all the animals are in heat. Margot and I watched two wiener dogs go at it for what seemed like hours. Squirrels are also doing the nasty. I wish David Attenborough were here to explain it all to us.
