Snake Lake

For the long Memorial Day weekend, the weather was not too cooperative here. But, Monday, the sun started shining and we took the opportunity to get the little one out of the house and free to run. We were trying to think of somewhere close that wouldn't be too crowded. Snake Lake! It was like a flashback to a 4th grade field trip. Now it is actually called Tacoma Nature Center, but it was perfect. There was hardly anyone there and Delaney could run on the trails. She had a great time pointing out all the tree shadows. Almost every picture I have of her looks like this. She was so cooped up from the time at home with the rain, that she ran as much as she could.

Checking out the ducks.

Here she is running towards us while keeping an eye on those ducks.

We even saw a turtle!!

We did the whole loop up onto the hillside and Delaney did the whole thing by herself. She never once needed to be carried. She was starting to slow down by the time we got to the car, but she never stopped.

Running down the trail.

My two favorite people wandering off on a trail.

A great (and free) outing for the one nice day of our long weekend.
