We found ourselves in possession of a cumbersome pile of old wood, and what better way to dispose of it then with a beach bonfire. We discovered recently that not only does Fiesta Island have enormous fire pits but that it’s also dog friendly. It was last minute and very spontaneous, but we loaded down the truck with our wood, tossed the doggies in the car and headed off for a Bonfire. Luckily it wasn’t too crowded on Fiesta Island so we were able to find a fire pit we liked right away. It overlooked the water Skiing Jumps out in the bay, so we got a nice show from a couple skiers as we set up our spot. The dogs were in heaven, with all the sand, seaweed, and generally doggie smells. We let everyone off their leashes including Brett. Maggie however had to be regulated and put back on leash almost immediately. She’s going deaf in her old age. All the smells were so intoxicating to her that she kept wandering off and couldn’t hear us calling her back. Of if she did hear us (which I think she can sometimes) she just blatantly refused to come back to us. We all had a great time cooking hotdogs, roasting marshmallows, and making a really big fire. Fiesta Island is one of our new favorite places in San Diego. We can’t wait to gather up enough wood to warrant another bonfire.
Maggie was so cute and kept sitting on our wood pile. This, however, was not very helpful.
Piglet was super sneaky and kept stealing our chairs when we weren’t looking.
Everyone wanted a bite of hotdog!
Kita had so much fun running around in the sand, but then again what dog wouldn’t.
Maggie who enjoys the finer things in life, watched the sun set.
