Walking Mommies

On Thursday mornings I go walking with a group of friends with all of our kids in strollers. During the rainy season we walk laps in the mall, but now that the sun is out we have been enjoying the great paths by the river. This week, Becca and I rode our kids in the bike trailers to Alton Baker Park where our group was meeting to walk (our trailers can detach and become strollers). Tyler was done with school, so he even rode his bike the whole way while Sadie and Cohen were in the bike trailer! It was a great way to get extra exercise and also save on gas money! It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time walking and chatting.

Toward the end of our walk we ended up at the EWEB fountain...and some of the kids got to play in it!
I knew that Ronan would want to get completely soaked, and since I didn't have extra clothes for him...and knowing that he would be riding the whole way home nested in the trailer with Griffin, I decided not to let him play in the fountain. I told him that we would go another day very soon, and he accepted that. So, as to not be completely unfair, I strolled the kids through the fountain so we could cool off a little. (: It was fun and they loved it.

When we got back to Alton Baker we hung out by the duck pond for a little while and let the kids feed the ducks & geese.

Here are two videos of the kids feeding the ducks. Griffin is so funny with the ducks...he loves them and tries to imitate their noises.
