Since I have been running more and did my first half marathon Ben has been asking of late if he can run with me. So today I decided to take him up on it and we ran around the block. We had to stop at home to get some milk, but then we were off again per his request. We took another short jog for just about a block and he then wanted me to carry him. Needless to say we walked home and that was the end of our run for today.
After Ashley took her nap we headed to the nearby pond to take Ben fishing. We gathered some worms from under rocks at our house and took the fishing poles in the hopes of catching several. Unfortunately the fish weren't in large schools and after a while we only ended up reeling in two. Ben loved catching the fish and apparently can cast like a pro. He even held one of the fish before tossing it back in the water.
Looks like we need to get Ash a pole though since she wanted to take part in the action as well. By the end of the time there all the kids wanted to do was to throw rocks in the water so that kept them occupied for a while.
Overall it was a gorgeous day and it was great to spend it outside. It was much needed for the kiddos after the raining and snowy days we've had.
