We don't take too many leisurely walks anymore. When the kids were little, it could take us 45 minutes to circle the block. We were so busy looking at every flower, kicking every rock, and exploring........well, everything, that we were slooooooowwww. I loved it! There's nothing like kids who literally take the time to smell the roses. You can see so much! These days, we're fast. Usually everyone is on some sort of vehicle, and we're speeding around the block. The other day when we went for a walk, the kids decided to do it the old fashioned way- with their feet! What a treat. There were lots of discoveries, lots of conversation, and lots of hand-holding. I hope we can take more walks where we're actually walking.
Walking is the best...I'm with them, I like it better when I hold hands. :) How cute are they? <3
