One of our favorite things to do (almost) on a daily basis, is take a walk. Anywhere. For long periods of time. We all love it for different reasons..I'll start from oldest to youngest.
I LOVE..seeing all the houses and how the front yards are kept. I love the flowers that are in planters sprucing up the lawns. I love the freshly cut grass. I love the neat little garden accessories like stone walkways or bird feeders or built in ponds. I love the beautiful accents like wind chimes and decorative animals like frogs and butterflies. I do have some dislikes also though. I am deathly afraid of bees and they seem to be everywhere! (Duh! with all the flowers.) I don't like seeing houses with lawns where you can tell the resident really doesn't care. But most of all I dislike walking past side fences like this...
This is because if the owner of the house has a dog, as soon as we walk past, you can't tell if the dog will charge at the fence barking their head off. So far in our neighborhood, I haven't run into that problem. But since we walk everywhere within a decent radius, I'm sure we will encounter that scenario.
NICOLAS LOVES...looking and pointing at all the cars as we walk by. He loves seeing people outside and saying "hiiii" and "byyye byyye" as we walk past. He loves seeing airplanes fly in the sky because he gets to say "byyye byyye" again. He loves seeing other kids outside playing especially if they have a ball or are on a bike because then he points and says "ooh mama oook (look)."
And then there's Raegan darling. And well..she loves walks because she gets to sleep soundly from all the outside noises.
Going for walks are very necessary!
I can't wait to be able to take long walks with Kyla and the baby. I haven't been able to walk much since I've been so pregnant and I really miss it. Hopefully it stays warm enough here in Wisconsin for a couple months so I can enjoy it!
