The Longest Walk

Everytime we leave our little apartment we take what I always call "The Longest Walk." It takes probably 10 minutes to walk the 200 feet from our apartment door to the car.

First, Kayley usually has to stop and pick a dandelion or two...

Then we have to examine them closely for bugs or other "carey-pooky" creatures...

If they are bug-free then we have to blow their fluffies all over the place...

After that we have to stop and pick up some rocks...or sometimes a stick...

Then we drag the handful of rocks with us to the end of the sidewalk...where we throw them back down into another special rock-pile.

Then we have to stop and make the jump off of the curb....if we forget, or don't do it just right, we have to climb back up and jump again...From there we rush to the speed bump in the parking lot and walk on it and then jump off of the end of it...

At least at this point you can finally see the car...

Once you arrive at the car, you have to convince her to empty her hands of anything else she picked up along the Longest Walk before you can put her into her car seat... It is a pretty long trip and we have to factor the extra 10 minutes into where ever we are going... Funny though.

Kayley's Photography

I don't know how many of your remember the last picture that Kayley took of me and James at Denny's...but it was pretty good. Every now and then I let Kayley roam around and take some photo's. I think she is improving quite remarkably. Kayley took these photos with NO help!

The Indoor Playground

Since Grandma has been visiting, we have been trying to just have as much fun as possible. Earlier this week we took Kayley to a large indoor playground. Here she is getting up close and personal with a "Sam-A-Lander." (As Kayley calls it).

Dandelions

Right now the dandelions are dying and turning into those fluffy tops that most people don't enjoy. Kayley, on the other hand, loves them. She looks all over for them, rushes over to pick them, so she can blow their fluffies all over the place...
