Daily Walk

I am so glad that spring is on it's way! Where we live, the weather has been pretty warm compared to other places. We live right on the Columbia River and not near mountains, so we are getting to spring quicker! It's been in the 50s for several weeks. It got down to about 32 one night and we were freezing! Yeah, I know - that's not so cold! Funny how quickly we got acclamated. So for the last week or so we have been fortunate to take a quick walk down at the river where there's a good walking trail. It is full of goose poo, which is the only bad part about it. The dog and the boys sleep so much better after taking this daily walk. We've only been doing about 15 minutes right now. It's warm, but still a little nip in the air. Plus, we are a little out of shape, even the dog, so we'll be just working our way up to a longer walk. Once it gets a little warmer, we'll start on a different part of the trail and go longer. Today, we were the ONLY people at the park. It's great to let the dog run free! He loves it. Gunnar scoots around and gets ahead, the doubles back, so he gets quite a bit of exercise too. These pics are of the boys today at the start of our walk. They are really into making funny faces these days for the camera, but I guess it's better than no picture at all, which is usually what I get out of Gunnar - he has been anti-picture for about 2 years!
