ry, Calvin and I walked five miles yesterday!! Calvin came up with the idea that it would be fun to walk to Grandma and Grandpa's house, which is exactly five miles from our home. So, I gladly accepted the offer to have some company on one of my training walks!I guessed that they might not quite make it the entire way...but we packed the walkie-talkies and had Coach Erik on stand-by. He had to come once to deliver a better pair of
walking shoes.
Of course, we needed to pack lots of snacks and plan several pit stops along the way. What an adventure! I spent two hours with two of my favorite people...who, shortly into our trip, became Frodo and Sam (from the Lord of the Rings) and spent a good portion of the time planning a surprise attack on their unsuspecting grandparents.
In the end, they walked the entire five miles...in the wind and the cold....with no complaints!! I am so proud of my boys!

Yes, we were surprised to see you guys coming to our house on foot! Well done! Maybe we could try that sometime, or at least bike the five miles.
Thanks for bringing up the garbage can too!
How fun to read of your adventures!
We are so proud of you.
Press on - we are behind you all the way!
Mamma and Papa
