These pictures were taken last weekend. We had Owen for the day and I had taken him for a walk in his stroller. It was a beautiful crisp fall day , about 0C(32F). We were gone for about 25-30 minutes. When we got back we did our usual thing with lunch and playing. Then after about an hour and a half, he went and got his coat. He wanted to go back outside.We got him all bundled up, mitts on, hat on and out we went. He immediately headed for our neighbour's house to look at the the Santa Decoration and the reindeer. He also checked out the decoration around the Birch tree. When we called him to come home, he just looked at us like"You Catch ME". We chased him for a little bit while he laughed the whole time.
We then decided to go for a walk. In the picture we are about 30-40 yards away. At this point, Mrs. Moose decided to catch up with us and we walked about 3-4 house up the street, maybe another 50 yards. He stopped at each house to look at the decorations and even stopped to watch a man on his roof with a
hose cleaning out his eaves trough. Owen thought this was very funny and laughed with glee at the water coming splashing out the downspout.Mrs. Moose and I thought we better turn around at this point so we didn't have to carry him back. He walked and ran with us all the way. He thought it was great fun. When we got home, he came in the door and immediately turned around to go back out. I guess he wanted more fresh air. So out we went for another 15-20 minutes. All in all it was a very enjoyable day with the best boy that I know.

Children are a marvel. I'm not so sure about adults, though. The temperature is at freezing point and someone's running water in the gutters and downspouts? No wonder Owen was laughing.
Has Owen found your money pocket yet, gramps?
Sounds dreamy, Moose. I love those days when the only plan you have is to see what happens next.
I'll read this post later. Crawling over to the chiropractor now.
Cat:It was maybe slightly above freezing but not much. He hasn't found the money pocket yet and I am in no rush to show him.He will learn soon enough.LOL
Ticblog: yeah, it was a great day. Just kick back and do nothing except enjoy him.
Babzy: What did you do that you need a chiropractor? Are you practicing gymnastics again?LOL
I had to give up the trapeze but I think I can still do a back flip. Owww the thought of it makes me cringe.
The truth is I joined a fitness group and stupidly overdid it right off the bat. The little nazi that runs the place kept pushing me and I forgot to push back. Moose, when women in their 80's can run circles around me I wanted to hurry up and get fit. Doesn't work that way.
Babzy:One of the best exercises you can get is a good brisk 30 minute or more walk. It is easier on the joints and great for the heart. Some of these exercise classes are downright dangerous if the instructor is not properly trained.
Exercise is good for the mid as well as the body
Grandchildren are such a joy.
With the added advantage, when you get tired you can send them home to their parents
Yesbut: You are so right. Owen brings an immense amount of joy into our lives. It takes us a day to rest up after he has been here, but it is a good tired
