This morning we went to a recreational park that isn’t too far away from here… we had gone there a few times near the end of summer/early fall and then stopped for whatever reason… I plan to go quite more often….
It was a really nice day today… though there is still quite a bit of snow on the ground the weather was quite mild and you can just FEEL that spring is coming… Feeling spring is one of my favorite feelings… It just feels like new things are coming, life is coming back… I really think that I do suffer at times from seasonal depression… my moods are always very in tune with the weather outside… the last week the mild temps have given me a new found energy that I lost for a while…
So we went on the walking trail (there are a few cross country skiing trails also) and we started walking… Colin was on my back and Xavier was just walking next to me most of the time… when we got to the end of the trail I took Colin off my back and let him walk.. he walked about 7/8ths of the way back, a few times I stopped and offered to put him back on my back and he didn’t want to… near the end he started stagering and falling more often, I again offered and again he refused…. he played along the way, getting a stick at times and “drawing” in the snow, colapsing onto snowbanks and examinin trees and animal tracks, both boys were having fun… finally Colin fell while walking and just stayed on all fours for a few seconds… I asked if he wanted to go in the backpack, again he said no… but then laid down on the ground, face down in the snow… I picked him up… he cried a bit… he wanted to walk more but jut couldn’t… I told Xavier to run and I would catch him and that made colin laugh and we walked back to the car…
Xavier was also getting pretty tired near the end…
Just before we got to the car I checked the park map to see how far we had gone.. I seems that we walked about 3 km which means that Colin walked a bit over a KM over hills and everything… pretty impressive I think….
