Independence Day

For puppies - nothing says "independence" quite like being off-leash! Priscilla and Gracie went to the Raccoon River Dog Park and the Indianola Dog Park for a chance to run free!








We were pleased to see the park was not too busy








Gracie runs - full speed ahead!








Priscilla canters at a dignified pace









It's great to find shade on a hot day!








Just a few other puppies at the park










































































They discover the muddy area!
































































We near the entrance - the volleyball tournament is distracting the girls








Quit sniffing!









Gracie says it's time to go!








Lots of activity for the 4th of July








Gracie wants to join the mud volleyball team!









This is our first trip since the Indianola park opened - we haven't had a chance to get our annual pass.








Checking out the info on the kiosk








It's great to have a way to pay at the park









Cool signs - important info








Too bad the dogs can't read the rules!








Priscilla lets me know that there's another dog there!









Hi!








Gracie and Priscilla explore the grounds.








Hope nothing's hiding in here!









Priscilla checks for critters








Gracie on the move



























There are some nice mature trees providing shade!



























The park has water right in the dog areas! Nice!








Priscilla tries to read the rules.









Gracie seems a bit distracted to read the information








Time to head for home!
