Walking!

So my car was worked on yesterday and it was ready for pick up this morning about 9:00am. Dave wanted to come home and take Tyler and I to go pick up the car. I told him that we could walk. He wasn't pleased with that decision, fearing the walk was too long, "It's at least 4 miles" he said. I knew we'd be fine. So once the rain died down Tyler and I went outside and started walking. Tyler walked for the first 5 min. I was really afraid that he would get sick of riding in the stroller because I knew it was going to be an hour long walk. We walked and walked (I pushed him in the stroller), and looked at cars, trucks and busses. We listed to birds and saw worms on the sidewalk. About half way there we stopped at Wendy's so I could use the bathroom. It started to drizzle as well. I thought we should stop so Tyler could stretch his legs. He would have none of it. He wanted to stay in his stroller and keep walking. The drizzle was very light and Tyler had his raincoat, a hat, and a blanket on his legs, so he was fine - I was hot a sweaty by then, so I was good too. Walking, walking, walking. I had A LOT of fun! It was great to be outside and have a place to walk to (instead of just through the neighborhood). The last tiny, tiny, bit of our walk Tyler decided he wanted to get out and walk. So we walked together the rest of the way. We walked around the car dealership for a while (looking at the cars up close - that was exciting for Tyler). Then paid for ($1200 - yikes!) and picked up our car.

The walk was only 3 miles. It took us about an hour - including Tyler's walking, stopping to use the bathroom and stopping for traffic lights.

It was fun!
