Saturday we took a few hours to go hiking (walking) at a nearby state park, Mason Neck State Park. We borrowed a backpack from a family in the ward and set off. Along the way we let Penelope touch the tree trunks and leaves.
This "moderately difficult", 2-mile trail goes through forest, over swampy sections and has a stretch along the bay (I think it's Pohick Bay). We let Penelope put her feet in the water. She kept watching kids who were swimming, but we weren't about to let her try that.
Instead, we let her play in the sand.
Which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Dave showed her how to pick up sand and let it sift through your fingers.
I even remembered to take a family shot. It's the awkward "I'm holding the camera" type, but hey, we're all there!
