We've been trying to take more after-dinner walks as a family. It helps Callan to get some energy out before bed and the cool evening weather has been really refreshing lately.
The best part of our walks is when we go to this underground walkway by the park. Like Gene said, to Callan this is a "time tunnel" (just like on the Dinosaur Train). Our routine is for Gene to pull Callan and Kinsley up to the entrance of the tunnel in their little red wagon. Callan puts his hand up and slaps my hand (he's pretending to give me his ticket for his "train ride"). I pretend to be the conductor from the Dinosaur Train and "stamp" his ticket with my "claw foot."
Then all four of us line up at the entrance and say, "Ready, set, go!" We take off running through the tunnel yelling at the top of our lungs, "TIME TUNNEL...WAHOOOOOOO!" Of course, Callan yells, and giggles, louder than any of us.
Tonight after we finished running through I said to Callan, "Tell Daddy thank you for the ride!" He turned to Gene and myself and said in a most sincere voice, "Thank you, Daddy and Mommy." So cute.
Also, tonight when we came out the other side of the tunnel (which faces tennis courts) there was a guy standing there looking at us through the fence holding his tennis racket just laughing at us. Are we a crazy family? Yes! Do we have fun, though? Yes!
