A couple of weekends ago we participated in a walk around Silver Lake to raise awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis. One of Kade's little buddies, Braeden, has CF. I've done a few walks and runs in the past and my only 2 goals have always been: 1. Don't get lost. 2. Don't get last. Unfortunately, in this walk, I failed 1 of my goals. We got last.
Somehow we ended up with Ellie which was fine with us because Kade can't get enough of her and her mom had 2 other kids to manage. Walking with a 1 and 2 year old is not so much walking as it is chasing, stopping, waiting and coaxing. Although we got left in the dust by the rest of the walkers, we were the lucky ones because we got to see the wildlife that was hiding from the big group. On our walk we saw, in the eyes,words and imaginations of Kade and Ellie..."A BEAR!", geeses, Ooh, look Kissy (Ellie doesn't quite have Kristi mastered)...A CROCODILE!, monkeys, an alligator, baby ducks, and baby geeses". I'll give you 1 guess as to which animals we actually saw.
Ellie was still a little sleepy from the car ride but Kade insisted on holding her hand.
We managed to
almost catch up when Kade used this method of transportation. Unfortunately it didn't last long.
Could these 2 be any cuter?!
On a completely different note...
A red tractor pulling a green wagon??? Kade sees no color when it comes to his farm implements!
This is such a hilarious post. I barely have the patience for our 2 block walk to daycare, I couldn't imagine an actual walk with 2 kiddos! You should have won an award for that. So funny!
