Went For a Walk

This evening after dinner I was checking out some food blogs when I suddenly had the thought - we should go on a walk tonight. No sooner did this thought occur than Jeff blurted out "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Weird.

So we put the kids in the stroller, grabbed a toy truck and a little ball, and headed out the door. We ended up going to the local college campus, you know, the one that I have raved about in the past because it's so pretty. We walk through it every Sunday on the way to Church, and really like it. Anyway, we got to a shaded, grassy area and unloaded. Thomas had fun playing with the leaves he found on the ground, and Jeff and Zaylee got a game going where Jeff would throw the ball really far and Zaylee would run to get it. Yeah, we were letting her use up all her energy and wear herself out so she would go to sleep really easily tonight (p.s. - it worked).




Here's one of the buildings on campus. The view from where we were playing was so gorgeous, and the lighting was good too.


On the way home, I remembered that it's Monday evening, so I turned it into Family Home Evening by having a little discussion about how God gives us nature - grass and trees, and how he also gave men knowledge to be able to make things like the beautiful buildings and landscaping and stuff.

All in all, it was an enjoyable walk.
