a walk to the park

Thursday or Friday Bonnie called that she'd be walking today and Monday with her grandson, would I come along. They were going to walk, then go to the playground and play. Mmmm not so much I thought to myself.

But here it is Saturday morning and I've made no other plans so I went.

We met at her house and walked to the park. It's about a mile. Of course Bonnie knew another couple there with their grandchildren. She's like my daddy. She always knows at least one person.

There was a new-ish plastic climbing set with a rock wall and slides. And there was old-school stuff like a medal slide, 8 swings, and at least 6 baby swings.  The child played on everything. I tried swinging but as soon as he saw me on htem he wanted to sing and guess who had to push. He'd probably still be there had I not given him a 30 minute warning. I actually did it on my phone so that he could see and here when time was up.

This park also has ball fields, a creek, and a pond. The pond didn't look healthy, and there was no signs of life in it whatsoever.

Then we walked back to Bonnie's.

Tomorrow Angel and the teen and I plan to go to a newish trail in P'burg by the new high school. Monday I plan on hiking with Frances and maybe Lydia at Lessor Lake or maybe the AT. An I just got a text about walking tomorrow with Pam. What can I pick that's close to her house?

Miles/Steps:   2 ish 
Bathrooms:     I-2.5 (old fashioned comfort station)
Weather:         70 and overcast when we left. High 70s and sunny when we returned. 
Wildlife:          robins and crows. The child kept pointing to a bunny rabbit,  but neither Bonnie or I saw it
