10,000 steps…and more!

Yesterday my Fitbit died in the middle of the day, right before I was about to hit 10,000 steps! I worked so hard at that, and I kept working all day (unaware that my Fitbit had died), so I was very disappointed to learn that none of my effort was recorded.

This morning I decided to try for 10,000 steps again, so I packed the girls in the jogger and walked (with the occasional jog) to Misty’s house. Her house is on the other side of the canyon and at an entirely different elevation, so the walk helped me meet my goal. Hooray!

Before we left, Mary discovered all the flowers Ron and Shirl left in the back. She was delighted.

Once we got to Misty’s house, the girls had a fun play date. I always love visiting with Misty, so everyone leaves happy.

Misty has a trampoline. The girls had so much fun.

Lydia and Sophia took turns pushing the car, and Mary stayed on permanently as the driver.

After I got home, I put Mary down for a nap and read books with Lydia until Ina came over to babysit the girls. She is our family’s angel; not only does she babysit for free, but she honestly loves our girls to pieces, and we know they’re in great hands. I went to yoga and did grocery shopping, and by the time I got back, it was time to make dinner. Ina took the girls to her house to play with her animals while I cooked, and then she returned right before Abe came home.

Ina gave the girls "capes" and they ran around saying, "supergirl!" the whole time. Well, Mary said, "Super gah!"
