One of the hardest parts of having a dog (besides dealing with his crazy), is that there isn’t anywhere for him to run. Dogs aren’t allowed in any parks and since we’re in a city without a yard there isn’t anywhere for him to stretch his legs and sprint. We found the the beach was a great place for him to run, but it’s about 1/2 an hour from our house and isn’t practical for everyday. But . . .
Near our house is this huge undeveloped area of land that runs between the water and the highway. We decided to take the dog out there and see what happened.
It’s not the greatest video, since he’s so far away you can only see a speck of a dog, but it was impressive in person.
The kids all had fun and aside from a little mud, the only other drama was that Caleb lost his shoes. He took them off somewhere out there and couldn’t ever find them again. I even offered a reward (paid from Caleb’s allowance) to whoever found them, but no luck.

By the time we left, Micah had chased the thousands of birds off the land and into the water. Job well done.
