Out walkin'

Last time we went out walkin it was right after several days of foggy gray weather and we were desperate to get out of the house and get some fresh air. It was a beautiful sunny day although the temp was only up to 24 degrees F. (we didn't know that until after we got home and it took so long to get warm again that mommy decided to check what the temp was) Anyway we walked to walmart to get some milk, which is about 3 mi. away making it a 6 mi jaunt which was fine other than the fact that it was freezing cold out and the side tire of the 3 wheeled jogger stroller was completely flat, making it very hard to steer...we even stopped at Oil can Henry's and had them blow up the tire but it only lasted 30 seconds. And then...on our way home 2 little yappy dogs ran after us and even though we ignored them the bigger one bit mommy before they turned and ran. Mommy was very mad at it. But at least we got out of the house and got some fresh air, AND we didn't have to 'run out and get milk' anymore.
This is all thats left of the doggy bite, a fading bruise and a faint toothmark... it was in a really awkward spot to get a good pic of.
Well, yesterday was beautiful out and quite a bit warmer than our last attempted walk, so Mommy and Aunt. Vi and Aunt Reba and La La and Dolly along with La La's doggy went out for a much more enjoyable walk.
We were told we needed to duck a little to fit in the picture and we sort of over-ducked if there is such a thing. :DMommy had to use the backpack stroller since the jogger one (the BOB) still needed tire repair.

Mommy had me all bundled up with jacket, hat, gloves, and even 2 pairs of pants, and with a pair of La La's sunglasses and my trusty juicebox we were ready to go.Watch yer backside tho folks cause you never know when a mean doggy will sneak up on you and sink his nasty little teeth into a chunk of your leg..

Afterwards we stuck around at Aunt Vi's for awhile and just hung out and played together.
It was great to get out and have some fun together.


In the evening everyone came over to our house for dinner and home-made icecream and hot fudge sauce. Yumm! Thanks for the fun day girls. :)
PS. all photos are courtesy of Vi since I forgot my camera. Thanks abunch Vi.
We'll try and get a post from our weekend company up soon. :)

Looks like so much fun! Our weather has turned mild too and almost feels like Spring other than the occasional wind. We were outside a bit for the last two days too. Love all your pink gear Miss Kate!

Little Miss Kate! Always looks like she's up to no good. In the most adorable & charming way possible! She looks even more dangerous in those darling shades! :-)

Weren't you wearing some boots? Any yappy dog that trys to sink it's chompers into me gets a free flight to the next county via one of my clodhoppers. :-)
We miss you all and hope to see you some time soon!

I was wearing tennis-shoes and if it had waited any longer than 1/2 a second to turn and run I would have given it the boot. But it must have sensed my sudden flare of anger because it turned tail and ran immediately after taking the chomp. I could have used a nice big heavy boot right about then tho. ;)
