4.8 Miles with Daddy

I woke up the day after the state fair refreshed and full of energy. The day began like many other recent mornings - jumping into Mom and Dad's bed, instantly jumping on Mommy yelling "squish". That activity is followed by reaching out and taking her nose. That didn't last long - I refused to give her nose back, so Dad came in and took mine, returning it only after I had given back Mommy's nose. In the end, it appears to have worked out for everyone, I suppose, but I still would really like to have two noses.




Dad and I headed downstairs where I proceeded to turn one of my toy chests into a bed.





After breakfast, I headed out for a round of golf. I'm getting to be pretty good. I know my clubs and no longer about just swinging the club into the ground.






Later in the day, Dad and I headed out for a walk around the lake - a 4.8 mile journey that included a stop at the beach and playground. Dad's first mistkae was letting me choose between the stroller and the red wagon. Neither of anticipated what it would be like to pull or sit in the wagon for roughly five miles; not necessarily the best choice. We headed off on our journey. It was a pleasant walk through the woods around the lake...we saw all kinds of ducks, cranes, and some kind of sand piper-esque bird. It included a stop to play at the beach and playground. Dad's second mistake was that I wasn't exactly thrilled to leave the playground, so he tricked me - he told me that he thought there may be some new playgrounds for us to find and we should go explore. There weren't and I reminded him the rest of the afternoon that I wanted to find a new playground.





Overall, we had a good time - explored the area, found a couple new parks along the way. I fell asleep for about 1 of the five miles, but it didn't appear Dad got lost. 3 hours later we made it home.

Hard to believe summer is virtually over. But that's okay because that means football season in here.
