Newfoundland dogs Enzo and Henry at the beach

 

On New Years day 2013 we packed Newfoundlands Henry & Enzo into the car for a trip to Ashworths Beach in North Canterbury for some summer fun.

The boys made a beeline for the sea as soon as they saw it.

The day was a little cloudy yet warm and the Newfs enjoyed a dip or two...

...a game of get the stick, which Enzo would inevitably win, while Henry, now almost seven years old, splashed about like a puppy...

January 4th was way too nice to laze around so Newfoundlands Henry and Enzo went to beautiful Lake Coleridge, where we found an awesome new spot for swimming.

...although to be fair, Enzo did all the swimming while Henry watched...

...and a rare shot of Henry in the water, about as deep as he likes to go!

We revisited this spot on the lake twice more during the next three days. On our third visit a huge nor' west wind was blowing creating surf on the lake, pictured here.

Enzo discovered the joy of splashing whoever happened to be in the water during the summer of 2013...

He is pictured here drenching Michelle while she was coaxing Henry to swim...
