I just want to say how proud I am

to have walked to the park every wednesday this month! Our playgroup is meeting at a park near our home this month and I have walked there, well home from there every time!

DH has dropped us off there in the morning and about 4-5 hrs later we walk home. It is close by car but it takes me about 35-45 minutes to get home depending on how I go. I feel so good walking, using my own two feet! I am saving gas, exercising and showing my family that we don't need to depend on a car to get from A-B. The grocery store isn't far from the park so it is doable too!

I am just tickled pink to be walking places!

i'm impressed! i long to be able to walk places. hopefully, if we have to rent an apartment (rather than a house), we will be able to live somewhere within walking distance of places we need to go.

i will be totally excited for the day i have consistently walked to do something too!!

i think it is a perfect distance actually. so many ppl that I have tlaked to hear thing it is a rediculousy long distance to walk, especially with kiddos (even though they are in a troller/sling)

i just found out today that there is a walking trail to the park near our house. i had NO IDEA!! it's a rather long walk if you follow the roads but dh seems to think it's only about a 20 minute walk if i cut through the path. i will walk it with him first to make sure i can handle it with the double stroller and then i'm going to copy you ashley!

Olivia walks and rides as her mood suits her. be prepared for the walk to take a long time if they walk! there is soooo much to see below our hip level!
