Weekend Walks

Since it has been so spoilingly hot the past few weeks, we've had to cut down the frequency of our family walks. Kevin faithfully walks the dogs in the morning and the evening, but the 5 of us haven't had many outings together. We recently decided to load everyone up and head for a stroll around town lake at sunset. It reminded me of how much I love the trail, and this city, and how much I miss our peaceful early morning runs among nature. We took our time walking to Auditorium Shores where we let the dogs off the leash to roam with their peers and take a dip in the cool waters of the lake. It was such a refreshing time that Kevin and I decided to run the 1 1/2 miles back home. Though tiring, it was a fabulous taste of another routine we hope to get back into this fall as the weather cools and August starts sleeping through the night.
