On Our Walk

We try to get out and take a walk every day, more than once a day if we can.  We just wander around our own neighborhood most of the time, which has become more fun the further we go.  I usually don't bring my camera but I am starting to because we have found unique trees, collected seed pods from all sorts of plants, inspected lots of insects, and discovered some really pretty (for the city) flower gardens.

Our latest favorite place to walk by is the house with the Chinese Lantern plant by the front door.  We are certain this house is abandoned or something and that no one will mind us taking a few lanterns home each time we go there.  The kids love to stuff their pockets with a few.

Of course in the summer it's also helpful to find shady places to rest on long walks, so we park in someone's front yard by the sidewalk until we cool down.  We have some pretty silly times watching people and cars and goofing around with each other.

I think it's time for us to head back out right now :-)
