The Marsh Trail

We paid a visit to the Marsh Trail (part of the Eastern Trail) last Friday. It was gorgeous even without the trees and plants in full bloom. The kids stayed in the stroller for the better part of the 4 miles we walked, spotting egrets, squirrels, sea gulls, and “mean birds” (Caed’s term for the black crow).

When they did get out to romp, they were inseparable. Caed insisted on holding Dani’s hand (to keep her from falling into the marsh), and Dani insisted on being always in Caed’s shadow. For the last half mile, they both hopped back in the stroller because Caed decided that he needed to save some of his energy for later. When asked why the sudden need for conservation, he replied, “So I can play and be crazy when we get home.”
