Yesterday, it was sunny and just warm enough for one of my FAVORITE family activities - "The 4-block walk"!!!
On Sundays, when the weather is nice, we load the kids in the jogging stroller, grab the puppies, and head down the hill to Sugarhouse Park. If we get an early start (which we usually do), we will go a bit out of the way and hit Einsteins and Starbucks on 15th & 15th for breakfast first. We love sitting outside and making new friends with fellow parents (of both kids and dogs!!). Then off to the park to feed the ducks, let the dogs chase balls and frisbees (and often - the ducks!!), play in the playground, or fly kites! It is such a fun, lazy day - and such great exercise - as we live clear up by Wasatch Blvd!! So it is a good 10 miles round trip. However, it has been affectionately dubbed the "4-block walk" by Tom's father - as the first time we took him along with us, everytime he asked how much further until breakfast, my hubby responded, 'About 4-blocks' - this went on for over 16 blocks!! Such a fun family tradition - we always look forward now to our "4-block walk"!! Thanks Grandpa Greg!!
That is seriously impressive--10 mile walk! We sometimes walk to our park and it is 3 miles roundtrip and it kills me! :) I love the idea of going early enough to get some yummy breakfast on the way! What a great tradition! I'm lovin' the blog!
