A Walk in the Park

Almost daily the Ritchie family goes on the same walk through Horizon View park. We run down the hill, while Charlie says, "Down?!" on continuous repeat. We cut through the tennis courts. Run up the hill while Charlie says, "Up?!" again on repeat.



Find the "C". Charlie says "C!" usually no less than 5 times. Then we run, usually with Charlie on Jason's shoulders, to the path. Charlie then picks up wood chips and throws them three or four times. Then he runs down the hill again, this time at full-speed into the waiting open arms of his daddy. Then Charlie holds our hands as we swing him into the air on the count of three. Charlie will then start to resist attempts of walking and lays down on the asphalt. Jason picks him up and carries his sqirming body to the car. All the while, Boo is behaving like the perfect dog, except for the glares he shoots us as he thinks, "Why did you bring this incorrigable creature into our lives?"

Enjoy the pics. I ran out of space on the memory card after the "C" sighting. Oh, Charlie insisted on wearing the backpack this time. Usually, like Boo, he's leash-free.
