Josie takes ballet on Monday and Katie takes on Friday so we are there a lot. There is a little waiting room where the parents can sit if they'd like, but you can't see in to the dance studio and the room is quite small. So, the other three children and I usually take Rico down to Karori Park. There is a stream that runs alongside of the park that Rico and the girls love to splash around in. I am not convinced it is the cleanest water, but it is a much better alternative than being cooped up in a little room for an hour or a half hour (depending on who is having a lesson), so we take the risk.
We go to the creek rain or shine because the girls and the dog come home wet regardless. Yesterday it was quite cold but that didn't stop anyone from getting in! We bravely let Rico off the lead to play and usually it works out quite well. However, yesterday right as Ellie was telling me she needed to go potty Rico took off after two other dogs- chihuahuas no less. Needless to say they were terrified! I ran after Rico yelling for him to come and told Meggie to hold on to Ellie. Thankfully the owner of the wee small dogs was ok with Rico bounding after them and once I managed to get the lead back on him she wanted to have the dogs get used to him. So, disaster averted. Once they moved on we made it to the bathroom, but not a moment too soon. Just thought you might want to know :).
