We realised the other day that we are yet to walk into town as a family of four. This is something we would do quite regularly with Ethan on a Sunday afternoon. We avoid Saturdays as they can be too busy for Ethan.
Taking advantage of Darren’s new shift pattern we decided to walk into town on Thursday afternoon. The walk into town is over a mile and a half and mostly uphill so it can be quite hard going on the calf muscles. Added to that Ethan wanted to do some running up and down the hills!
Whilst Darren watched both me and Ethan get covered in mud from this activity he took a few photos of Little E.
We also stopped at the play park but Ethan’s anxiety for other children is the worst I have ever seen it. There were a few children near the swings and because of that he wouldn’t go into the play park. I think we have some work to do with building up his confidence.
We decided to stop in Debenhams to feed Little E. Ethan picked out a cake that we wanted. He loves his cake!
Ethan was very content with escalator watching so it was an uneventful and stress free pit stop, which made a nice change.
Unfortunately we had to walk home in the rain, but I suppose it is all part of the fun!
Isn’t it funny that some of the trees are still green and others have lost their brown leaves?! Looks like Ethan had fun running up and down those hills 🙂
It looks like you and Ethan had a great time running up and down the hills, it’s great that you’ve finally made the walk to town as a family of four. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
He thought it was very funny, I tried not to fall over in the mud lol
We love going for walks especially when its a nice afernoon. It looks like you got some nice weather (besides the walk home!) And some very very nice bit of cake!
We weren’t expecting the rain but thankfully we were prepared. It was good to get out of the house into the fresh air x
Love all the leaves to run in and kick about, and glad the cake stop was a quiet one! I love cake too 🙂 #countrykids
Yes there are lots of leaves Ethan had lots of fun. The cake was a bonus too x
Sounds like a lovely family afternoon. Ethan has good taste in cake!
He does love his cake ;0)
