Let's Go For A Walk

For the past few years, once the weather turns nice, the munchkins and I have taken about an hour long walk in the mornings.  It's a great way to get my exercise, for us to get some much needed fresh air, and to enjoy God's creation.  The kiddos do great job staying in their double stroller looking around, asking lots of questions, and sometimes even singing a few songs.

This particular morning, Ava wanted to bring one of her stuffed animals, Bunny.  I told her as long as you hold onto Bunny, you can take her with you. 

(You will see that Bunny makes an appearance in each one of these pictures.)  

Still hanging on to Bunny...  

Our walking route is through a neighborhood.  Once we get to a place where we can see construction trucks building a new local road, we turn around and go home.  The walk round trip is about 2.5 miles. 

Well, this morning when we were almost home (and I was tired and sweaty) Ava discovered that Bunny had fallen out of the stroller at some point during our walk!  

Bunny was lost!  

So, as soon as we arrived home from our walk, we all climbed into the car and I decided to drive our walking route to search for Bunny.  We were about half way through our route when we found Bunny just laying on the sidewalk right where Ava had dropped her!  Whew!!!!  Ava was so excited to be reunited with Bunny! 

Lesson learned: Next time we go on our walk, we won't be taking any special friends with us.
