Sunny Weekend Exploring

This weekend the sun was finally out so we got to have lots of fun! Chris works on Saturdays, so Ellie and I set out on our long walk without him that day.

I had yet to really explore my new neighborhood so we decided to hit the trails and take paths that we'd never been on without any real direction. Those are always the best kinds of walks. :) We ended up walking about 5.4 miles that day!

Sunday, the weather was even nicer, and Chris said that he wanted to show me this really neat park that is nearby. The North Creek Park is a huge expansive wetlands area that is just right down the street from where we live in suburbia and I never even knew about it!

The whole area is a wide open field of water that ranges from 2-5 feet deep, and you walk through it on floating wooden docks! So cool!

Our total walk was a little over 6 miles. We were so tired when we got back that all three of us took naps! Quite the long day!

Also, I managed to capture a video of Ellie after Chris picked a piece of grass and started whistling with it:

Ellie's 3 Year Gotcha Day!

Happy 3 year gotcha day to my Ellie bellie! I can't believe how time flies and that it's already been three whole years since that exciting day when I brought her home. 

I know we haven't been blogging much lately - I keep meaning to, but we just get so busy! 

What we've been up to: 

• Long walks in the sun - we go 3 miles about 2-3 times a week
• A trip to Marymoor dog park last weekend - LOTS of running and panting and sleeping :)
• Feeding the ducks with Chris - he takes her to the duck ponds when he feeds them, she's very good around the duckies!
• Peeping out the window when we leave the house - Chris and I have noticed that Ellie's little head pops up in the window when we are outside, it's so hilarious and adorable!
