We love taking a moment that can seem mundane and making them I to an adventure. Of course it isn't always possible but every once in a while the door appears. We ventured out for a family walk. One of our very few walks we didn't bring Hardi on (to hot for his furry 110+ pound body). We decided our local State Park was nice, it is our usual spot for a casual walk.
We brought the stroller and water; then all we had to contend with was the heat. Luckily this is a nicely shaded area. We lasted around a mile before we were all ready for some cool air and food. Along the way the imagination unfolds, technology is lost. They have to use their beautiful little brains to play and invent a story.
As a child I remember this. Dirt, sticks, rocks... all possible toys, and props for "my" story. I want my kids to have this, to experience it. Yes, I have a smart phone, computer, and television. But even I need a moment without them. Our daily walks will be something I will treasure and continue to add here and there. I love the memories, and the stories I will be able to recall when the next generation is here.
Everyday is an adventure so don't waste it.
