After exploring the marsh, we spent the rest of the time learning about the physics of water (in other words, why is it frozen over her, not there, and how big a rock do I need, and how fast should I throw it in order to break it). It was a fun day!

Urban Hiking
With the sunny skies, mild temperatures (about 40 degrees), and no wind, decided to go on a little urban hike along the Arlington creeks. One spot we like to check on is a small protected marshy area that, during the summer, was teaming with turtles and birds and all sorts of wildlife. It was fun to see how much it had changed during the winter. Ice covered the whole area and we decided to follow the trail into the middle of the marsh. "Are you sure this is a trail?" says Chloe. And then responds herself... "Oh, there's trash... yeah, it's a trail." This is what she's learned from all our hikes -- that whenever there's a trail, there's always trash? Yikes!
