A trip to the park

Alena's policy is, why be indoors when you can play outside? Sunday's weather was so nice that we decided to take a trip to Palisades-Kepler State Park, just east of Cedar Rapids. We packed a picnic and went for a hike. Alena had a good time (even though she refuses to smile when a camera is pointed at her.) After we got back and had supper we walked over to Bever Park where the municipal band was giving a free concert. Alena listened to music and looked for dogs. She finally started to get tired around 8:30 so we went home where she went to sleep without a complaint.

What a spread!

Looks like Alena is sporting a new spiked hair style in the last pic.
