Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2006. Mattie was sitting with several of his preschool classmates, as he celebrated his fourth birthday at Riverbend Nature Center and Park in Great Falls, VA. The kids had a great time that day as they went on a woods walk with a naturalist, did a pretend archaeological dig in a sandbox, and even got to meet and pet some neat animals. The party theme was dinosaurs because Mattie was into them that year, and he even had a dinosaur cake and pinata.

It was a beautiful weather day in Washington, DC today and we wanted to take Sunny to Great Falls park. But apparently half of our region had the same notion. Traffic to get into the park was intense and once at the entrance we found that park police were turning people away. Of course since we drove out to Great Falls with Sunny, he expected a walk. So after 14 years, we went back to Riverbend Park today. The last time we were there was for Mattie's 4th birthday. It is a very pretty place to walk, and just like the name implies, the park runs along the Potomac River.
It is hard to believe that just a few miles from this spot the water looks like raging rapids (at Great Falls Park). But at Riverbend, things are calm and peaceful. It was a dog's paradise today. As for Sunny, he got a lot of attention from adults and kids alike. All wanting to pet him or ask..... what type of breed is he?
Sunny got a four mile walk in today and you'd never know he is a "senior" dog.
