LOOOOONNNNGGGG WALK

David got home early yesterday from work so we thought we'd take Caleb and Allie to the park. We went downtown and the park was insanely crowded. We stayed for a little while and let Caleb run around and then David decided that we should walk along the trails and go to Falls Park and Main Street. So off we went...seriously we just left the house at 4 and were taking Caleb to play at the park for a while...nothing major and then were going to come home for dinner. We started walking..it was a beautiful day in the low 70s with a nice breeze...and we walked and walked and walked. Since we left to simply play at the park I had on flip flops...let me tell you now don't wear flip flops when you're walking(just in case any of you didn't know that). A couple of miles later we ended up at Falls Park and on Main Street...it was 6 by this time so we had to find something to eat since we had Caleb and Allie with us and then we started on the long trek back. At the end...we walked over 4 miles and after pushing the stroller up countless hills and carrying Allie about half the way neither one of us could move last night. What started at 4 as a simple outing to the park ended at 830 with sore bodies,half a consumed pizza,garlic bread and 4 miles under our belts. We had a great time and really enjoyed spending the time with Caleb that we don't get individually very often and both kids had a wonderful time. Although not planned and not entirely prepared it was a great day!

I've been wanting to put Allie in one of these swings for months now but haven't been to a park to try it out. We need to get a new swing for her in our backyard..the one we have from Caleb has seen it's day. She loved it!!!!!! and I loved watching her!



Caleb had fun playing on these...he jumped back and forth and really didn't want to leave to go for a walk. We had to bribe him that we would let him play again on the way back. Of course by the time we got back from our 4 mile trek it was getting dark...he settled for playing on a train along the trail.


I like this one from behind too...wish I could have seen Allie better and the background was alittle blurred but oh well..guess I can't ask for everything.


This is along the trail right as we started out. The scenery was gorgeous and I loved looking at all the trees and flowers. There's a river that runs through the park and this is that river.



These are the falls. A guy last week actually ventured out on them and slid down..he came out with a cracked vertebrate and a $1000 fine. Crazy teenagers!



This is the Liberty Bridge....it is so cool to look at. It's right over the falls and absolutely gorgeous!
