beach baby

Nikki and I took Annabelle & Stella on a walk on the beach today. Anna has been out to the end of Park Point many times however it's always been winter when we've been out there. It was a different story today... the lake was eerily calm and swamp-like and the beach was clear of snow and ice. Anna proved to me today that she apparently really likes water. She kept running in and out to get a bazillion drinks of water. She got SO dirty. Pretty sure we brought back a few pounds of sand in the car. I'm crossing my fingers that there aren't any e-coli risks on the beach this time of year. Guess we'll know within the next 24 hours, won't we? It was cute to watch little Stella follow Anna's footsteps and take a few licks of water. On our way out, Anna's neighborhood pals-the dogs across the street that she watches admiringly out the window- were heading out for their walk, but not before the three of them chased each other around for a while. Stella kept the peace with her authoratitive bark (she's like 10 pounds). It was a fun afternoon!
