Picnic in the Park

Yesterday was one of my most favorite days with you and Daddy and Bentley. We slept in till 10 and packed a picnic and headed to the park.

It was a beautiful day.

The sky was a vibrant blue after so many days of grey. The sun was shining and the birds were singing.

We sat still for about 15 minutes, eating our sandwhiches and sharing our chips with Bentley.

Just relaxing and people watching.

After lunch, Bentley decided she needed to cool off.

It had been too long. Way too long, girl!! Yes mam, you may jump in the off limits pond and chase the taunting ducks....go get 'em, sister!!

And she did! For about half an hour. This is who she is.....a water dog, and I'm not about to deny her this big pond that God intended for her to swim in.
So, we watched from the pier.

And let her have her moment.
When she just couldn't seem to heave her 80 pound, soaking wet body out of the water anymore, we knew we could call it a day. She was happy and exhausted and ready to go home.

Now it was your turn. We needed to tire you out so that you would take a good nap, also. First, we hunted for crawdaddies.

Apparentley, this must be done barefoot. Second, we let our 80 lb doggie take you for a walk.

Then we took the looooong way back and this is what you started. All.By.Yourself.

"Step on a crack, break your Momma's back"...how on Earth did you know to do this?

We drove home, with the radio up and the windows down (nothing stinks worse than a sweaty boy and a wet dog). Daddy gave Bentley a shower and Mommy put you down for your nap. Then Mommy asked Daddy very nicely if she could go get a mani/pedi with her giftcard. He said "yes" as long as you were really asleep. I waited for about 30 minutes without hearing a peep from the monitor. Good boy.

So, while I'm getting the royal treatment on my feet, I receive a text from Daddy saying that you're yelling, "No nap" "No nap" from your bedroom. Ah....good boy, way to wait till Mommy's out of the house!

Love you, Bubba!
