Jumping back in time again...
We've started a tradition of going for a nature walk near our anniversary date in November. This past year, a
zillion other things were happening at that time, so we waited until after Thanksgiving to go. We chose
Lake Accotink park which has a nice walking trail, a cool (and terrifying) dam, and of course a playground.

| the first few shots I took are all washed out -- it took me a while to figure out why the settings were all messed up |

| have snack, will travel |
 |
| Katie was not feeling her best :( |
 |
| these two, however... |
 |
| I just love all the contrasts of colors you get to see in the fall |
 |
| Mr. Pickles had to take this one. being close to the railing -- and seeing the children close to the railing -- gave me the heebie-jeebies, so I had to keep away |
After our ramble, we spent some time on the playground. One of the slides became a Hungry Monster.
 |
| first you catch your prey, |
 |
| then you feed him to the Hungry Monster, |
 |
| then he gets eaten!!! |

| LOVE the static effect on toddlers' hair :) |
It was a beautiful afternoon. It's so important to get to know all the lovely places tucked away in the city.
