Out for a Walk

Emma, Ethan and Maisy

Andrew and Scratch

Ethan is the best big brother. He was pushing Emma in "hyper speed" as he called it. She loved it!

On a walk.

Eli's prized treasure that he found at the cow pond.

Almost there....

The boys had a half day of school today and the weather was perfect for a walk. We are working on getting the dogs to walk with a leash. Working, being the key word. They are not really catching on. Scratch is doing a little better than Maisy, but they still need lots of practice. We spent about two hours wandering around the desert.

We went down to the wash, then to the cow pond.

My kids favorite thing to do on walks is to look for "treasures". Basically junk that has been dumped or floated down the wash. We once found a bowling ball on our walk that Ethan proudly carried the whole way home. That was probably our best find. Today Eli found some sort of sprinkler system hose and was determined he needed to bring it with us. I told him if he could carry it home himself, he was welcome to do it. I did not think he would make it a mile and a half dragging this thing, but sure enough...he did! Now that we have it here, I'm not sure what he will do with it. I can't wait to see the look on Jeremy's face when he sees what we drug home :)
