Since the weather got warmer, we have been going on regular family walks. Sometimes, we go on the mountains behind our house and put Argenta in the backpack. Sometimes, we all go on foot and Kolton and Xiana break off to run on these dirt mounds typically used by bikers. Sometimes, Xiana and Kolton ride bikes while Argenta rides in a stroller. All the time, it is wonderful! We get our exercise (the kids have been known to make it as far as 4 miles without complaint!!) But more than that... it forces us to unplug. engage, and communicate. It forces us to remember who the most important people in our world are. It forces us to visit, and be better stewards of our bodies, and to teach our children how beneficial exercise and family time are. It has been incredibly instrumental in our lives, our happiness, and our overall family contentment.
