Day Tripper

Yesterday Bear and I loaded up the pups, and along with Val and her Boo Bears, we headed to Lake Henshaw for a day of fun. It's about 50 miles away, but because of the twisity-turny roads, it took us about and hour and a half to get up there. It is a dog friendly lake, and we all had a blast! The dogs wore themselves out swimming, chasing ducks, and just running around in the wide open space. It was a delightful day indeed!
"This Frisbee isn't nearly as fun to catch as those ducks would be...."
"Here ducky, ducky..."
"Did you see those ducks? We nearly got um! Yahoo!"
"Throw the toy again Mom!"
"Anybody seen that tennis ball?"
Jack on the run!
Jill loves the nice warm sand. Mom didn't, at least not in Jill's nice, long fur!
"Ducks across the lake...hmmm, can I make it that far?"
Jill and Kona taking a cool dip.
Three ducks, five dogs...ducks still win.
Almost there!
Kona give up after a L O N G swim.
Silent contemplation
A spurt of energy
"Seriously, what are you waiting for? Throw the ball Mom!"
"I didn't catch the ball, but look at what I did find!"
Sleeping while sitting up. This girl was pooped!
My handsome big, red boy!
"Look at all these chew toys!"
"Are we home yet? I can't hold my head up any longer!"
