I got to spend this gorgeous afternoon in Yarmouth at Pratt's Brook with Ruby, Saltine, Phoebe, Champ, Henry, Grace and Roxy.

Here's the lucky 7 enjoying the trail before reaching the brook.

Grace is trying to get me to throw the ball to her while the others explore just ahead.

Swimming stop #1 on our loop through the woods.

Champ leading Phoebe, Grace and Ruby up from the brook and back on the trail.

Playing a little fetch at swimming hole #2

Grace, Roxy and Champ begging for me to throw the ball again while Ruby looks on and Saltine chews on a stick.

Only the good swimmers braved to chase the ball into the deep waters.

Finally some fetch in field to dry off and tucker them out.

Champ got the pack running and playing through the tall grass before we headed for home.
