parks, puppies and playgrounds...

we've got a new photo album up. click here to see the photos.














well, the weekend flew by as it too often does...but it was a good weekend still. the highlight was definitely our trip to the park with the puppies. last week temps dropped down into the teens and it was freezing. but saturday the sun came out and "pretty pleasant" actually appeared for a day. still cold but it was just too darn nice to stay in the house. so we loaded up the baby, the dogs and the camera and went to the park. now, this "park" that we go to is not really a park but a school playground and field. it's really pretty perfect because it is totally enclosed so we don't have to worry about the dogs running off. it also has a pretty decent playground with swings, slides and jungle gyms. and there isn't ever anybody else there. except for this one time some guy walked over with his little boy and two dogs. everything was fine until his little dog wandered way over to the gate and left...without the guy even noticing. the guy lived a few blocks away so odds are the dog was just ready to get home and was tired of waiting for his owner to take him. all in all it was pretty comical. (now that i read it back that story seemed pretty dang pointless. oh well :) but anyway, this park is perfect because theres tons of room for the dogs to run and chase the ball and there are things for us to do or at least places to sit if we feel like it. and when she's big enough, annabel will have a great place to swing and take on the big slide on her own. :)
