Ellensburg's New Dog Park

It was a beautiful halloween morning outside, so we decided to take our puppies to the new off leash dog park in Ellensburg. It is located down by the Yakima river near the Canyon, so we knew it would be a place our dogs would LOVE! Sure enough, when we got there, they shot out of the truck and made a be-line for the river! Mike had a moment of panic when it seemed as if the dogs were struggling to swim in the slight current, keys went flying and he was pretty much IN that river-ready to dive in for his baby Brinkley-luckily her doggie instincts kicked in and she made it to shore-only to jump back in 27 more times with her brother Peyton right alongside her! It was so fun to watch them splash around and swim, dodge in and out of the tall grass, follow us along the trails, retrieve sticks and just be....dogs! The kids were completely content too-sitting along the banks of the river skipping rocks, laughing at the puppies, being splashed when one of the dogs would run by, and dipping their feet in the water (shoes on and all-who cares)! We stayed for almost 2 hours, just watching the puppies have the time of their lives. It made our hearts happy to see them enjoy life so much. We'll definately do it more often-they LOVE being off leash!
