"Puppy Park"...and the "Kid Park"

This past weekend was the first really nice weekend we were able to spend outside and really enjoy the beautiful weather. It has been quite a while since Samson has gotten to go to the "puppy park", so we thought we'd treat him to some fun as well as the boys.


He loves sniffing absolutely everything....especially all of the dog butts! :) He also, amazingly enough, stays pretty close to us and usually comes back to us pretty good when we call him.


The boys did a good job being patient and letting Samson enjoy his time at the park.

It apparently was just warm enough to take a quick walk through the creek.

OOOOHHH, that feels good! After about 30 minutes of checking out many different dog butts, Samson was ready to go take his turn at watching his brothers play at their park. We have never actually taken Sam to a regular park, because I've always been afraid he wouldn't behave. He tends to get VERRRRY excited around other people and dogs. He's never aggressive....just whiny and obnoxious...usually. Boy, did he prove us wrong. He did a great job for the most part. There was a small goose incident, as well as a bit of excitement when 2 other dogs showed up, but overall I was impressed. He did squiggle out of his leash a couple of times, but never ran off. Overall, a success!

It's hard to tell in this picture, but Aiden's absolute favorite thing to do at the park is "sing"! :)

One of Tyson's classmates was also at the park, so they got in a little see-saw action in between running up and down the play set.

As you can see, a broken arm didn't scare him away from the monkey bars...no, he takes them on like a champ all the time!

We took a picnic lunch and ate at the park in between playing, and I swear we didn't spike their drinks! :) It's amazing what fresh air and sunshine can do to a guy....

Silly boy!

Yep...fresh air/sunshine high apparently wore off. I wanted to get one last picture of the two boys together, and this is what I got!!
