Titlow Park

Another warm Saturday means another outdoor adventure for our little family. For this one, we decided to go to Titlow Park. We've been here before, but it's been a few years. It is the perfect park for some Sound/beach exploring and a really fun playground and splash pad.

First stop was to try out the playground.
Then we walked on this really pretty tree covered trail to head to the water. While we were walking, a group of bird watchers were all looking at something and one of them pointed out to us an owl and her two babies (more like teenager owls). It was pretty cool to see and it was nice of the group to point it out to our family.
You have to cross over a bridge to get over the railroad tracks to get to the beach and we happened to get to the bridge right as a train was going under us. The conductor even waved to us and it was fun to watch.
Then it was beach combing, finding it all sorts of hermit crabs, poking sea anemone, Paige making a jump rope out of bullwhip kelp, throwing rocks in the water, and rock and seashell hunting.
The view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is incredible from this beach!
Then we walked back over the bridge, pointed the owl out to a couple who saw us looking for it again (she even had bincoluars that she let us borrow so we got a great view of the owl), and made it back to the park for a picnic.
After lunch, the girls changed into their swim suits and played in the water. McCall loved it the most and was constantly squealing, running around from puddle to puddle, and putting her hands and feet in any water she could.
Toddlers and puppies..... very similar. :)
 
Another fun outing in the books!
