After dinner yesterday we decided to go for a walk as a family. It's lighter longer and warmer, so it should have been a great day to start. The only problem was that it started to sprinkle just after we left the house.
Sprinkles don't stop us! We kept going. The sprinkles stopped. It took us nearly 20 minutes to get to the turn around point that I have previously designated. Just then it really started raining. We hurried back much faster. It started pouring just before we made it back home and all 4 of us were totally soaked! We made it back in only 10 min! It's amazing how getting cold and wet made Eryn go much faster on the return trip.
Lessons learned from this:
1.) Be prepared- layers of clothes, hats, and maybe an umbrella
2.) Eryn can in fact walk fast when properly motivated!
3.) Our family can do something besides sit on the couch and watch TV after dinner.
Hopefully we will be able to make this more of a habit and the weather will improve to reward us more for our efforts.
