The Greeneway.

   All week, all I've heard is, "A school interview and observation team is going to be at our school on Thursday Prepare! Prepare! Prepare!" and "It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend!" After stressing all week about this school intrusion and getting news on Friday that the report "is what it is," I was really hoping for a beautiful weekend!

   And I got it! :) This weekend was wonderful. Justin and I had the pleasure of actually staying in town one day to do it North Augusta style. We'd been hearing about The Greeneway, but we have been far too busy to actually make a visit, until now. The Greeneway is a trail that meanders through the woods for a little more than 5 miles, where old railroad tracks used to be. It's a paved trail, making it great for biking, hiking, or taking your dogs for a walk - which is what we did!

   We've been beating ourselves up lately because we never really spend time with our dogs. So, we thought we would make it up to them!

    Our dogs were the about the smallest dogs we saw on the trail, but they certainly weren't aware of it. Anytime we passed another dog, or dear heavens if they saw a cat... Justin would say in a not so calm voice, "Make sure you hold the leash with both hands!"

      Our dogs are really cute and loving. I was trying to get a picture that would portray that side of them, but they were too intrigued by the bushes and all the living things inside of them. Flashes and snapping don't captivate their attention like children, I guess.

     Lucy was worn out! She's our obese dog - so obese, she waddles. By the end of our 7 mile hike, Justin and I were worn out ourselves.  The dogs were fortunate to find a creek to drink out of near the end of our walk, but Justin and I were excited to get home for a drink of water, because the creek didn't look quite so appealing to us.
