How crazy is that? Here I am, piling 3 kids into a tandem stroller and thinking, "Where should I go for a walk? Hmm...Hey, I know. I remember seeing a sign to a park. Let's see if we can find it..."
Yes, oh, Idahoans, Washingtonians and Oregonians today was yet another beatiful walking day. Warm and slightly breezy with generous cloud cover it beckoned me all day long, but I wasn't able to go for my walk until almost 5:00, at which point it was time to make dinner. I knew if I made dinner there would be the dishes to clean afterward and then baths and then teeth and then bed and no walk, so I took the risk and headed for the "park".
Down Texas Ave. Pass Krogers. Oh, there's the brown sign. I knew it was somewhere around there. I still don't know the name of the street we turned down since I cut across a parking lot, but the park was only about 2 miles from our house. There was the proverbial swimming pool, baseball diamonds, soccer courts, tennis courts and 2 great play structures, and lots of swings. Time to push the girls, push the girls, push the girls, watch me!, tag me!, run with me!, carry me!, and that was it. Put the girls back in the stroller and headed home. Made it to the Krogers and experienced that light, heady feeling that comes with a sugar low. Boy was I glad that Tanner was with us. He ran into the store and bought juice and peanut butter crackers and some bananas. Made it home.
We still have the windows open to cool the house down.
