Nature Walk

year ago in March of 2013 , shortly after we moved to the farm, I went on a nature walk with the kids.  I dont think I knew I was prego at the time but it sure felt good to get out and walk.  Even if I had to carry Salesi the whole way. He wasn't walking yet and there's no way a stroller would've made it up the hard part of the road.  The kids were excited but by the end of it were begging for home, pretty sure we covered at least a miles worth of bumpy, steep terrain around the mac nut trees.  The boys did well, didn't start to ask "Are we home yet?", until about the time Ke'ala graced us with her spectacular crying voice. Ke'ala was doing fine until at the last stretch til home, literally 30 ft away, she slipped on some pebbles and declared that it was the worst thing I'd ever done, why did I take them walking?, she hated going on walks, she never wanted to do it again.  All in one breath.  Sheesh.  4 yrs old. So much for quality time.  Salesi was about 1 yr.  Leva-5 and Sesi-3.  Still, I know they had a good time getting out and exploring a bit.  It might be time to tie up my laces and revisit that old bumpy road..
