I Fast

Some mornings we load up in the stroller and head to the bike path.  We usually head to the bridge on the east side of town.  Mara loves to hop out at the bridge and run back home.  I was a little hesitant to let her do this at first because my motive for the walk is to burn some calories.  But, I almost have to run to keep up with her.  In her words, "I FAST!"  Of course, there are the usual stops to watch the cement trucks, wave at the garbage trucks, and sometimes the semis picking up bricks even honk for us.  She looks forward to meeting bikers on the path so she can say, "Guh mornin'!"  We were talking one morning on our walk about being friendly.  When the next biker rode past, she yelled, "Guh mornin'!  Friendly!"  In case they weren't sure, she wanted them to know she was being friendly.  I did have to chuckle out loud at that one.
