I try to get out of the house every other day, just for a change of scenery for myself and the girls. I had planned to go out this afternoon, but the sky continued to look thick with potential rain clouds, and I wasn’t keen on dodging rain drops while outside. Yet, the rain wasn’t coming, and I was getting stir-crazy inside, so I decided to venture out for a quick walk with the girls. I packed us all up and drove to a park (I unfortunately can’t just take the stroller out without driving somewhere first, as we live on a fairly major road with no sidewalks – and furthermore, the terrain is too challenging for my idea of an afternoon stroll. I have no desire to have calves of steel, abs of steel, or any other steel-like body parts if it means pushing a full double stroller up and down hills. I’ll keep my flab and relaxing pace, thank you very much!).
Of course, as soon as I unloaded us all out of the car, what did it do? Start to rain. Figures. But the precipitation remained a light drizzle, and the girls were shielded, so I managed to get in a 20-minute walk before I decided I had had enough fresh, wet air for a day. The girls seemed to enjoy the walk. Hopefully they will be more outdoorsy than their mom!
