Pony Pasture

Pony Pasture - James River Park




I braved reentry into the James River Park after the mountain biking debacle. Grace was disappointed to find that Pony Pasture doesn't actually contain any ponies (nor much pasture, to be honest), but we had a great time exploring last weekend.
It was nice to watch our kids go from fighting over toys at home to holding hands and helping each other across the rocks at Pony Pasture. I didn't get any pics of the big rocks on which we climbed out into the river. We took some snacks and had a little picnic... hence the duck. He would not leave us alone and didn't seem to mind being whacked in the face with an old shirt. Nothing scared this guy. He started to scare me a little!
Gary helped everyone across an old log we floated between some of the bigger rocks and then promptly fell in when he tried to cross. He was a good sport (as always). Of course, it was the highlight of the trip for Sam and Grace!
