Labor Day...that glorious time of the year when we get an extra day off from work! Jared and Kristina have both been fairly busy at work these days, so it was an easy going Labor Day Weekend. Not a lot was done...just the normal chores and a few extra errands. However, on Monday the daily walk was exchanged for a trip to our favorite river spot in Carnation, WA for a little bit of walking and some swimming for Indy.
Indy is getting quite good a fetching sticks out of the river. She actually has toys, but she still doesn't always bring back the stick, so we don't want to watch a toy float down the river. Hence the sticks. Here's a short video of her latest work...
And then of course, here are some still shots of her action...
This one she is intently looking at Jared and wanting her treat. Look at that concentration. Too bad we can't get her to concentrate that well when there isn't a treat involved. :)
Jared and Indy posing on an old tree that was down along the river. We will be interested to come back during the winter and check this out when the water is high again.
A nice serene shot of the Tolt River...at this point in the river, it is pretty much dumping into the Snoqualmie River.
The is a cool bridge that spans the Snoqualmie River.
After Indy was done swimming, we decided to hit another section of the Tolt River so Jared could try out his favorite thing...fishing. Indy and Kristina sat patiently on the bank enjoying the day while Jared waded through the cold water...hoping to catch a fish. He didn't end up catching anything, but he did get a few raises and was just happy to be out there.
Here's another shot down river from where Jared started out fishing...
And, here's Indy patiently waiting on the bank for Jared to finish.
