A Walk in the Park

Last Friday was a gorgeous fall day, so I decided to take Mason to a park that's just a few miles from Austin's parents house. It isn't a playground, just beautiful manicured lawns and trails and trees. It's the perfect place to just relax. Not that Mason knows how to relax in the way I'd like to relax. We picked up some apple cider from Starbucks and had a little picnic. He wasn't too sure about his drink at first, but as you can see in the pictures, a small taste went to gulping and then to sucking every last drop from the cup. It was so much fun and we ended up staying for almost three hours. Mason ran the trails, climbed the benches, repaired the rock wall, and played with every dog that passed by. He even somehow managed to sneak a rock into my purse to bring home as a souvenir. And he slept great that night.
