Okay folks I really did it!

I walked again today, now I'm really getting impressed hahahaa. This is the most purposeful exercise that I've gotten in so long I'm even ashamed to admit. Sure I get a bit of a sweat working on the homestead, and kneading bread...but other than that and some other activities, I could be equated to a sloth.

The best part about today was, my 2 youngest boys came with me! I told them last night at dinner about my walk yesterday and they were adamant that they were coming today. We live on a small highway, so that part had me a bit scared to walk with them, (even though a tonne of people are always walking and biking on it) so we decided we would turn down the first side road.

My neighbours and others in the community are always telling us about this hidden beach down that road. We've driven on it before trying to find it. I remembered my next door neighbour telling us it was a pretty unmarked trail at the end of the road. The boys and I set out to find it.

The side road known as "The Finer Diner Road"

Saw some cool boats in the "Finer Diner Chanel" (that's what we call it lol).

Next the road comes to a "Y"...

And I was absolutely certain the way to the secret beach is if you take the road on the right...but if you knew me you'd know I may or may not have the greatest memory... ;)

You guessed it. I took the wrong road. And after walking all the way to the end of it, and looking everywhere for a path through the bushes, I thought, "Hey maybe this is the path down this driveway looking thing, with house numbers...maybe it's just that good of a decoy, and that's why it's a secret..." so the boys and I walked down the driveway until I saw houses and shit like that hahhahahaa!!

This cute older lady was there, and I asked her if she knew where the beach was, she told me it's on the other road bwa hahhahaaaa. At this point we'd already been walking for 45 minutes and the boys were already pooped, well I was a little tired too and my shin muscles hurt, so we decided to head home and try the beach again in a couple days.

We definitely saw some cool stuff, all was not lost.

On the way back they (okay, WE) were so tired. I had to even piggy back Stryder for a bit, talk about the workout I wanted eh? I'm gonna be in great health if I keep this up!

And of course the Graveyard, always gotta stop there for a look.

I'll leave you with this...it's official...
