Walden Pond

This Saturday, we took our first trip out to Walden Pond with Davis. We went to expose Davis to sand and water, for Kristen to swim, to see some friends and have some nice family time. Since Walden pond is limited to 1,000 people at a time to try and limit erosion and it was going to be beautiful sunny day, we left early. Even after I locked us out of the house and forgot the SLR camera, we made it out to Walden by about 8:30 where we were one of the first non-triathletes there.

We picked a choice spot on the beach and set up for a couple of hours of sand and early morning sun. Josh, Courtney and Mack joined us for some water play. Kristen took Davis into the water and dipped his toes while Josh and Courtney took Mack out into deeper water for a little more active play. After a while, Kristen's parents and I took over watching Davis while Kristen swam with a few friends from her department. Davis took a nice nap and we spent the rest of the day at home relaxing and playing with Davis.
