Lena went on her first walk today. The weather was a little warmer and we decided to make the most of it. We walked on a paved trail that runs along the Thornapple River in Middleville. It is a really nice trail and it's not far from our house.
We feel very fortunate to have been called to Middleville. It is such a nice, pretty, small town. We love the small town atmosphere. During our walk, some church members honked to us as they passed in their car, and one man that Jim knows leaned out of his car window and chatted a bit as he waited for traffic to clear up.
Wow, we actually got a decent picture trying to take it ourselves! Good job, Dad!
Dad really likes to push the stroller! Lena seemed to enjoy being outside. At first she squinted a lot as she got used to the natural light. We had to have the cover up on her stroller because there was a brisk breeze, but she got some nice fresh air.
The wildlife is fun to watch on the river as we walk. There are geese and all kinds of birds. And Mill Pond on the other side of the trail has a whole community of beautiful white swans that hang out. They are so neat. Oh, and we saw a muskrat swimming in the river alongside us.
I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time on that trail this spring and summer.
