At Seven Bends State Park.
The children's play space now has a slide. I took Charlie with me but he did
not try it out.
Also new is a merchandise trailer, a mobile store
that is open during scheduled hours. Today it was open for the "Opt Outside”
event. It will not open again until December 10, which will give park visitors
one more chance to get holiday gifts.
Charlie went to the park with me and met some of the rangers and enjoyed walking
around. It’s fortunate that the park is not very far from home because he
wriggled out of his harness in the car again. He gets nervous when the car is
moving and tries to get out of whatever is restraining him. When Marie was here,
she rode in the backseat with him for a short ride and that calmed him down
temporarily.
I’ll show you a few more recent pictures of the park. It is along the North
Fork of the Shenandoah River.
Linda, your park is sooo very pretty, even in the late fall and early winter without snow. Your first Reflection photo is my favorite, a place I'd like to be.
ReplyDeleteThe last few weeks I could not return your comments as I was traveling (posted a few on my blog today) and had only my "google banished" smart phone. I didn't want to carry the laptop which answers fine.
Oh yes, it's too bad Charlie doesn't like to ride. I hope he grows to like car rides.

Gorgeous view with most of the leaves gone
ReplyDelete...you had a fabulous day for our outing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps over time Charlie will overcome his aversion to riding in the car, especially when he understands that good things happen at the end of the ride.
ReplyDeletePerhaps someone riding in the back sear with him is key.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the park at this time of year. Charlie needs someone to always ride with him in the back seat...just come pick me up any time! I'm available! (What a few hundred miles away, shucks!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice park. I know you enjoy spending time there.
ReplyDeleteNice park! Great portrait of Charlie!
ReplyDeleteThe park looks nice. Charlie hopefully will get better in time.
