Enjoying Some Virginia Green

Elise & Grace testing their balance on a fallen tree

A real treat for Brad, and for all of us, while in Virginia is being able to enjoy big trees and lots of greenery - a nice change from the desert scenery of Arizona (which we've also come to enjoy).  We took time out this morning to enjoy a brief hike in one of my favorite spots in Virginia Beach:  First Landing State Park (formerly Seashore State Park - the name was apparently changed in 1997).  The girls enjoyed hiking some different terrain, seeing some critters (including a small water moccasin), and testing their balance on fallen trees - all in the shade of a beautiful forest just minutes from the ocean.
