Soldier Hollow sheepdog trials

People and their dogs come from all over the world to compete in the Soldier Hollow sheepdog trials. It's just up the canyon from us so we decided to take Taylor and Cooper (grandchildren with a brand new baby brother) to see the dogs at work.

The main event was herding sheep. The dogs had to heard the sheep through a course, then separate out five and get them into a pen.



There was lots of other doggie fun:

High jumping dogs


Police dog demonstration


Taylor and Cooper loved it when the dogs took down bad guys (in dog proof suits)




There were even duck herding dogs!


Can you believe the dog got the ducks into a wagon??? He really did!



Of course we had to have a little break

I get to pick 3 flavors?!?



YUM!





We finished the day watching "Splash Dogs" compete to see who could jump the furthest into a swimming pool.

Here's 2 nice looking jumps


This one looks just like our celestial dog, Jill.





It was a fun day

BYU TV for kids



I came upon these "Animated Heroes Classics" today while reading my email.

You can take a look here.

Some of the episodes can be streamed right from your computer  and others you will need to catch on BYU TV.

They might be good to keep on your DVR, if you have one. I like to keep a couple of good quality shows available for grandchildren visits - a last resort after playing in the yard and with Grandma's closet of toys and crafts.

There is lots of other family friendly content - you can see a list of shows here.

Bucket List Destinations for 2024

  Will this be your year of travel?  In a world of confusion, wars, rumors of wars, and commotion, you can travel to more peaceful locations...
