Ah, the dreaded daylight savings time of year has arrived. It tends to make me incredibly grumpy, so I figured I would share some happy pictures of our adorable Yorkie, Bastian, in order to avoid said grumpiness for just a little longer :)

Last week, @jasonrussell and I took our two daughters and our little canine friend out to explore around the Winona, MO area. Thankfully, we were able to enjoy a beautiful autumn day before a dreary week of rain, cold, and darkness. Mr. Bash loves to tag along and enjoy adventure time with us!

And exploring the waterfall at Rocky Falls...You can see our youngest daughter peeking out in the background! :)

*Turns out that our 17mm-40mm lens is pretty effective at taking doggie glamour photos, But it's pretty easy to do with this handsome little fella ;)*

*Someone was photographing a German Shepard by the falls as we walked out. We forgot to bring his leash, so he exited in style on our oldest daughter's shoulders*

We had a really fun day exploring with our kids and our able-bodied dog (Our other dog is a 15 year old chihuahua that can't quite move like he used to) We took lots of pictures and I hope to share more soon! Now back to the dark and cold. I'm gonna try to stay as positive as possible this season. In conclusion...our dog is super cute ;) Have a good Tuesday evening!
