Fort Benjamin Harrison

  Memorial day Charles and I were both off of work and it was wonderful to spend some time together! We started our day with breakfast at the Early Bird Pancake House which proved to be absolutely delicious! Next on our agenda was nap time! This was kind of an impromptu event but we felt so wonderful afterwards! Once we woke up a bit we met our friends Caitlyn and Logan and we packed all the dogs (they have three) up and headed to Fort Ben Harrison State park. I had never been there and was pretty excited.
  Once we arrived we met the Downtown Dog walking group. This is another group that I joined on Meetup.com which is such a wonderful way to find people who are interested in the same things you are! The organizer of the Great Dane group that I walk with is also a member of the Downtown Dogs so there were some faces (his and Cooper's, his Dane) that we knew waiting to greet us! The turn out was amazing and there were about 25 or so people there with their dogs! We headed on our trail started the 2 hour trek. It was a three mile trail and we were all pretty sweaty by the end and a little muddy but we had smiles on our faces! I was so proud of us! It might sound silly but we haven't been hiking in a long time so I didn't know how we would handle it but we did really well. Most of all I'm proud of Keena. Last summer she was a hefty 145 lbs and was miserable! Now, at a trim 130, she is like a whole new dog! She kept up with all the dogs and had a blast. I am making it my goal to go to a lot more walks and keep her happy!
    When we were done with the hike we headed back to the houses and dropped off the dogs and headed to get dinner at a Mexican restaurant! It was delicious and we had a great time catching up! Charles and Logan had fun playing Call of Duty after dinner.....oh boys! It was a great holiday and we hope you had a good one too!
