to the park

Our friends Jess and Joe are puppy owners, too, to a beautiful black lab. They told us about this little lake west of Billings that is perfect to take the dogs swimming in. We've previously tried to get Ginger to swim in the river but she's terrified of the water. She wades through it like it's going to bite her legs, and Snap is two pounds so she's terrified of anything.

So we went. I tanned. Evan swam in the freezing water. Ginger whined about the freezing water. Snap watched and jumped in on. her. own. twice! So much (free) fun!

I cannot remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did when I saw my 7 pound dog, doggy paddling back to me. She's never been in water before and her instincts are so good! I'm such a proud mama!

lovelovelovelovelove.

Bravest man alive to 1. go swimming in the ice pond, 2. get in that dirty water.

She's a horse, kinda.

Cheering about Ginger swimming out to the ball on her own like a big girl.

The end. Exhausted and hiding her ball from Evan.

I wore shorts for the first time this year, and my chacos and bathed in the beautiful sun. I cannot wait till it's a tiny titch warmer, I'm sure this is going to be a common spot for our summer activities.

Also, Evan is playing some NBA game on our SUPER NINTENDO. Guess where we got it? (The game not the console.) A pawn shop. Ew. Anyway, it's from the 90's and so ridiculously stone age and primitive. HAAAA.

I love today. Which is coincidentally Evan's day off which makes today awesome.
