This warmer weather has given me spring fever, so I took the girls out for a walk around the block. It's something that we often do in the afternoon during the spring and fall, but I needed to get out of the house. Kali always rides her bike and Sadie insists on riding her scooter. That decision usually changes after we get to our next door neighbor's house. They literally are next door, but it takes her almost five minutes just to make it that far. She doesn't have the same drive or energy that Kali does and she can't seem to stay focused on what we're doing. This time, however, I was surprised because she actually made it past our neighbor's house, and the next house, and the next house.... and I thought we might make it the whole way around the block. That is until we passed by these rocks. The pictures show it all.
Our walk around the block took 45 minutes when it should have only taken 20. And after she had collected all the rocks she wanted from this rock bed, she was done with the scooter
Kali in the meantime, rides around the cul-de-sacs or waits for us begging to go on. Unfortunately, my rule is that she has to stay where I can see her and she can see me. That often leaves her waiting for Sadie and I.
And Ashlyn was simply content in the stroller. Last year she didn't like the stroller so I always carried her. This year I think the newness of being outside is enough to keep her happy.
