On Saturday, we headed to Pace Bend State Park in search of a spot where Willow could run off leash in the water and on the trails. It was a 40 minute drive to the park from here, which is at Lake Travis. We drove as far as you could go and parked right at the beachfront. Willow gladly got out and ran around in the water, met a new friend named Buck, chewed on sticks and went fetching our red frisbee. She was so happy, she was smiling. As usual, we were happy to see Willow enjoy her freedom. I think all major parks should allow pets and have designated areas where they can run and play without restraint.
There weren't too many people at this spot and there were wide open spaces for the boys to run around, play frisbee with Jeff and muck in the water. We had a nice picnic, walked and drove around checking out the cliffs. We spotted a roadrunner family and a turtle during our visit. Interestingly, people brought their horses to this park. We noticed them just enjoying the sunshine watching their horses grazing around. So pretty! The area felt somewhat like being at a provincial park in Ontario but for these horses hanging out. :) Who knew such big 'pets' would be so readily accepted here? Kudos to Pace Bend!
