Day "Camping"

Today we went out to a park/campsite on Lake Travis in Austin. We packed some sandwiches and drinks and headed out there around lunch and unloaded at one of the campsites. We had never taken Ginny "out" like that before, so we were both a little unsure of how she would behave. She was GREAT! I think she had a blast! Here are several pictures we took today...

When we first got there we just set up our chairs and relaxed and had sandwiches and root beer! (A cute old man suggested I try this certain kind of root beer when I was at the store, and I just couldn't resist his charm. :))


Ginny was so calm and just walked around checking things out! We had a long leash extension that we tied to the picnic table so she could walk around some.

She was very alert to all the noises and bugs, but never took off after any of them!

She even got a new bone!

After lunch, Matt decided to take a nap...

...but Ginny didn't like that idea very much, so she woke him up.

We all decided to take a short hike on the trail down to the lake.

We took her down to the water and she wasn't sure at first...

...but then she decided that she LOVED it!

She never got in real deep, but she got in up to her belly. She kept biting at the water and sticking her whole nose under when the waves would come up. She just ran back and forth as far as that long leash would allow! She absolutely loved it!

We went back to the campsite to let her dry off some (we weren't planning on her going for a swim, so we weren't prepared with towels!) We were all pretty tired so we headed back home as soon as she was dry. We had a really good time and were pleased with how well behaved she was! Hopefully we can do it a few more times throughout the summer!
