Long walks with the girls...

What a beautiful evening! The girls and I took the dog, Lexi, for a nice long walk tonight. It was gorgeous outside and was about 65 degrees. There is a trail a few miles from our house that starts at a park, so we drove the car to the park, then got out and walked... The trail runs along a creek and is very wooded, so it will be a nice cool walk in the summer as well.

We walked for a mile, then turned around and came home because it started to get dark. It won't be long before it stays dark later and we can walk longer! Or, we just have to start out earlier!

There are benches along the way at every mile, so we know we only made it a mile. I wear a pedometer every day so that I can keep track of the steps I take, so the next time we go, we'll have to make sure we go at least 1 1/2 miles so that we actually go 3 miles by the time we turn around and head back.

The dog was very tired after the walk! She's gained a bit of weight over the winter and needs the exercise. I have a feeling we'll be making this trek often! We all need it! lol!
