I have been taking the kids for walks every day this week.  It is really tough pushing the double stroller up the hills here but I like to look at all the houses and dream of owning one some day.

On Thursday we went for a walk on a trail near by.  It is built over an old rail line so the grade is level and it is nice and wide (no shade for hot summer walking though).  It was nice.  Meagan ran the whole time.  We told her to start running and get some exercise and she did.  She ran at least a 1/2 mile in one direction and ran the entire 1 1/2 miles back.  She was almost a half mile ahead of us at one point.  She used to whine if we even suggested she run, now she is asking to go back.  Maybe she will be a distance runner.

Then yesterday we went to another park that has a stream through it and let the kids play in the water.  It was hiliarious and one of the most relaxing days I have had as a family.  Me and dh sat on the bank and skipped rocks and the kids got totally soaked and road home in their underwear.  We don't have nearly enough of those days.  We let Meagan play hooky so she could be part of it.  I wish I had the camera because it was priceless.
