Lake Catherine

A few weeks ago we decided it was about time to take the 4-legged children swimming.  The only problem was that we have to drive a good 45 mins to get to a lake around here.  There are plenty of lakes but in order to let our crazy dogs off leash, we need some space!
So we drove to Lake Catherine up near Hot Springs.  We hiked about 1 mile away from the camp grounds and found this......


It was perfect!  Secluded and only a few people were on this trail so it was perfect for us.  The water was a little chilly but it was great for the dogs.  I think they had a great time!






Of course I had the brilliant idea of hiking out the long way so we wouldn't have to put the dogs on a leash and so we wouldn't come across so many people.  Well, the long way consisted of some great views as you can see below, but it also consisted of a 1.5 mile hike uphill the whole way.  Excuse me, not really "uphill" more like "up mountain." :)  It was beautiful though! Glad we did it!






Oh yeah, Titus thinks he's fishing! That was some good entertainment.....

    1. Yay!!! I thought you knew about the blog! I love blogs! And you are right about being able to snoop and not feel creepy! :) I miss you guys too! I usually come to Memphis about once a month, but I'm so busy when I come that I just hang out with my family. We need to make plans to get together next time we are in town though. I really want to meet Rowyn. And, yes please update your blog about your awesome new baby! :)

      P.S. I'm on a diet right now, so you can give the chocolate chip cookie away this time.....but I'm so glad to know you haven't forgotten about me!
