What a great time.

We'd been there fifteen or twenty minutes when ... here come the cops. "Hi guys. Not sure if you are aware, but there are no ... (suspenseful pause) ... dogs allowed in the park after 10 am."

:? Us. "Oh. OK. Sorry. Have a nice day."

I for one had a great time. According to the pictures we had thirteen guys, plus three wives, plus one son, so a good turnout, especially on such short notice.

That's what the president was doing in the now famous photo. At least that might be what he would have said he was doing.

Yup, good times where had by all.

It was kinda funny when we noticed the cops everyone went straight for the cameras. Also, for some reason I think that that whole "no dogs after 10am" was kind of BS because by the time I left there where dogs everywhere.

Anyways, had a great time and cant wait to do it again.

On a unrelated note, after getting home and having dinner I get a knock on the door and when I went to answer it there was 2 officers outside my place. Turns out they where looking for someone who I never heard of but when I first opened the door I defiantly had a big WTF? moment.

It doesn't make you look fatter but it prints like crazy at the shoulders and along the center of mass. There are much more discreet carriers out there to put your soft-panels in.

And a Special thanks to Bellingham PD officers Doughtry & Smith I think, for only policing dogs. Maybe the Chief up there should make them Training Officers.

Someone said the park had a "No Firearms Sign". You can see from the photos that really bothered us.:p

I am still not sure our work is done up there. They havemany more parks.
