Another Walk

Tuesday the weather was extremely nice again. It was a record breaking day with temperatures in the 70's. The 70's! We are in Colorado in December and the temperature was 72 degrees. With weather like that we HAD to take another walk.

When Campbell got off the bus, I had her change her shoes (she still loves to wear dresses and dress shoes) and grab a drink. We headed back over to the grocery store for some dinner items. The walk wasn't as interesting as the one on Monday. Although, I did learn everything that a 3rd grader knows about space. Trust me when I tell you that it is A LOT! Like did you know that there is no longer a planet named Pluto. That one has disappeared since I was a kid. They now have some other fancy name for the type of planet that it is. I don't remember what she called it. It's a good thing I wasn't taking the test yesterday. I was also told a whole bunch of stuff about moons and stars and rings that I don't remember. We had a very educational walk.

We did see the geese again, but the large convention was over and it was just a meeting of the elders. At least, that's what we decided it was. The sun was setting as we were walking. It was causing a really strange glow making everything look yellow. The sky looked really incredible though. Thankfully I had the camera and was able to get a couple of good shots. I could really get use to all this nice walking weather. Even with the talkative children I have, the walks are very relaxing. There's also the added benefit of my 9 year old teaching me some things.

When we returned from our walk we jumped in the car and headed to the mall. We needed get Daddy's present for Christmas. They were on backorder online but the store said they had them in so we went and got it. We also got ourselves some hot tea and treats from the coffee shop. We had to get back all the calories we burned on our walk.
