A walk in the park...

Today Daisy, Madison and I took a walk in the Military Park. It was a pretty day, and the warm side of the temperatures got to a point where we could actually walk outdoors. Lately we've been walking around the neighborhood lake, which is about a 1.25 mile walk - sometimes adding a sidestreet in. Since we had the day off and housework wasn't calling my name, we went to the park.


One of the few beauties of living in VIcksburg is that we have this huge military park with 16+ miles of trails in the middle of town. For the low rate of $20/year I can get unlimited access to the park. We re-newed and hit the trails. 2.75 miles later, after enduring the Lousinia hill (it is HORRIBLE - try it and you'll regret it), we returned to the car.


It was a fun walk - we got to see some deer - a doe and her fawn. The dogs got to sniff a million new things. This was also the first time I tried the park with both pups. Actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. The pups were EXHAUSTED when we got home. They ate their supper and went to pass out. I guess they are feeling it just as much as me. We'll be hitting Vicksburg and all of the local parks in the upcomming weekends in an effort to get into shape for the Annual Run Through History! This was what they looked like when i was making my supper! Tired little girls.



By the way - wasn't this a wonderful way for them to get out of bathtime. Every time I consider throwing them in the tub I hear a sigh come out of one of them. Such spoiled babies! Right now they are sleeping on my feet, keeping me warm, and snoring away. What a hard life!
