Bingo! Our Park Day 2.0 Adventure!

We're participating in Park Day 2.0, the fun challenge issued by our pals Gizmo at Terrier Torrent and Finn at Finn & Charley Too!

Gizmo and Finn came up with this cool idea where you download one of a selection of Bingo cards and then complete each challenge to make a "Bingo!"

Then you post about your adventures and everyone links up their blog posts on the linky list below!

We finished our adventures to collect a Bingo this weekend... so here you go... our Park Day 2.0 adventures!

This is the Bingo card we played. There were so many good activities it was hard to choose, so we did the vertical column on the left and a few extra challenges too.

Visit a park more than 30 minutes from your house

We had a great trip to Chicago a few weeks ago where we visited Lincoln Park... a huge city park that borders Lake Michigan. Since we live in Atlanta, this certainly qualifies!

Rocco checked out lots of areas in the park. Here are just a few.

During our Chicago trip, Rocco also got to visit the beach for the first time. On this day, we headed to Oak Street Beach at sunset. Ahhh!


Spot a squirrel

Rocco's catching on to squirrel chasing. He didn't really notice them until he was about six months old. Now at the ripe age of eight months it's one of his favorite hobbies.

"I think I spy a squirrel!" 
Can you see it? Hint: it's hanging upside down.

Take a closer look... yep, that white thing is a squirrel belly, handing upside down!

Done!


Find a dog playing Frisbee

We've seen several disc dog events recently. While walking in our local Piedmont Park, we happened  upon this disc dog competition.

Then, after the 5K9 Walk/Run we participated in earlier this month, we caught this disc dog demonstration by Melissa Heeter and her pup Glory.

I just really like taking photos of flying dogs... and captured these at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Missouri.  If you ever have the chance to go to an event at Purina Farns, do it! It's a really cool facility!

Wheeee!
We had so much fun at Park Day 2.0! Thanks Finn and Gizmo for coming up with a great idea!

Here's a look at everyone else's adventures!
