A day in the park...

We were on a mission to see a bunch of turtles...(Nee told us that 60 something turtles were seen at a park in our area so we had to check it out!) we only saw one, but we something even better! A park that reminded us (a little. A flatter version...) of Pisgah National Forest with hiking trails and a pond-that Sadie jumped in head first, in pure water dog delight, 2 times! (I realize that was a run on sentence...). Sadie and Jake waded in the water (Yes, I am the mom that lets their child wade in the water in March when it is only 60 degrees out. What can I say? We are water people!) and then checked out the dock. That is when Sadie decided to take the plunge 2 different times...Jake helped her in a 3rd time and she swam from the dock to the little beach area. She was so proud of herself! We had a great time exploring one of the trails a little. Jake loved the mountain bike jumps and Sadie loved running after him! We will definitely be going back...Especially since Sadie was so worn out she slept the whole way home and for pretty much the rest of the day. :)


We call this the "full on running picture".


Doesn't she look like a bear?
This is our version of keeping our dog on a leash. She is on a leash-see it on the ground behind her?

Sadie needed a bath big time when we got home. I think we are going to have to move to the tub next time...At one point she slipped free and was on the counter...I was wetter than she was I think!
