A walk in the park

Dusty spent the summer with my parents while we did all of the construction at our house.  My mom took him for a walk every day, weather permitting, and I promised him that we'd do our best to continue the exercise for our first baby.

John went to Raleigh today to spend the night camping with two of his high school buddies, so I took the kids and Dusty for a walk.  Thank goodness the big kids are old enough to walk him responsibly on the leash!  We like to head over to the library on Sundays (no traffic!) and sneak into the new park that's under construction.  We're so excited to have a wonderful new park (rumor has it that a splash park/fountains are included?!) within a short walk of the house!

Oh, and did I mention that the kids take their Chicago Bears pride quite seriously?!
