Preston went on his first hiking trip since moving to New England. Skyline Trail in the Blue Hills is a fun hike that is only minutes from downtown Boston.
Mommy and Daddy picked a challenging trail.
See Daddy’s new OllyDog® backpack? The strap has a built-in poop bags dispenser. How cool is that!
Preston turns THREE today!
His blog is updated to a more “grown-up looking” design.
Of course there is a birthday cake on his big day. This year, Mommy made him “Apple Crunch Pupcakes” with peanut butter frosting.
The pupcake is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
