Murray has a race coming up and the organizers set up a practice course for those unfamiliar with navigating by compass. On Friday night, we took the girls to run through the mini race. Initially we had no one interested. Going to the park and sitting down to learn about a compass and a map was NOT of interest to them..... until they found out they'd be running through the woods and not just looking at a map the whole time! Once we sorted that out, they were keen. After we got there Lovey was soon tired out while the other 2 were bolting all over the place. I guess all that running training has really paid off! (for those actually practicing anyway). There were the usual skirmishes over who got to hold the map & compass but other than that they had a pretty good time!
At the end we found some interesting graffiti that I couldn't really read but sincerely hope is not anything offensive! Once we got to this last spot, Lovey perked right up. Pose? Pictures? NOW we're talking!! Murray headed off to get the car so we had a few minutes to do some shots and Lovey had very specific ideas on what she wanted and where she wanted to be and how she wanted her hood etc.
It was great to be outdoors and feel the warmth of the sun well into the evening!
