Today's walk was a scavenger hunt for seeds in the local park with the family. The boys had to find a pine cone, an acorn and 2 other seeds. The bonus - we discovered that the local wildlife has been visiting, leaving identifiable deer, raccoon, possum, squirrel & rabbit tracks on a yet-to-be-flooded, newly groomed skating rink bed. I was impressed that the 4yo id'd the deer tracks first, and the 2yo could find them after being shown the difference.
We don't walk far or fast, but we learn a lot along the way, and throw in a little running for good measure - which is good for my lungs.
