First Landing

The Spencers set out to explore the local area. That quest took us to First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach.





John, Sophia and Gianni stop along one of the many swampy areas to look for creatures in and around the water.


Sophia thinks she spots an animal, while Gianni checks the perimeter for any dangers lurking about.



Mommy, I gonna jump in, ok?




Mommy and Sophia spot some turtles.



And there he is, basking in the sun, like John in Hawaii.



John hangs onto Gianni so that he doesn't make any "sudden moves."



The Bird Watcher in her natural habitat.



And now for Mommy's favorite part of the trip...lunch!


Sophia and Gianni sneak in a few more Girl Scout cookies.




We find a playground at the park.



Gianni finally comes down the slide with the proper end first.





We close out the evening with a cozy fire and some toasted marshmallows.



The kids show off their spoils.



How many marshmallows do you think a 2 year old can fit in his mouth? You would be surprised!
