The dogs loved walking around the park, stomping in the leaves, and chasing bugs.
Aaron wanted to teach Penny to play fetch with the frisbee. Since Penny is new to the family, we weren't sure if we could let her off her leash. I threw the frisbee, and Aaron ran with Penny on the leash to catch it. Next thing we know, Penny is off her leash and chasing after the egrets in the runoff from the river. We chased Penny up and down the banks of the river runoff. That dog has mad sprinting skills. For a moment I really thought we were never going to get her back and almost broke down into tears. We screamed her name. Asked her if she wanted a treat. Did every trick in the book. She wasn't interested. Aaron chased Penny for a good 45 minutes, then had to make a trip into "uncharted" woods, and finally emerged with our soaking wet, mud-covered dog in tow.
Next time we will know to never let that damn dog off the leash.

Sorry to butt in uninvited, but I was amused by your Penny incident... I have a dog that would do just like that, she is unstoppable when let loose in the grass. Fortunately for me, she comes back on her own.
If you don't mind, I'd suggest something you should have tried. If your dog wants a game of chase, get her attention and make her chase you instead. And when she catches you, you can also catch her.
It also helps to keep the leash attached if she's a slippery little one.
