Aside from both of us battling colds (thankfully not the GI bug everyone else seems to be contending with)we had a wonderful weekend!
Friday: We slept in, then I did some studying for boards during his morning nap, the afternoon was spent going for a walk to Java Co for some coffee and to school to take care of a few things. When we got back from our walk we took the dogs out to Thousand Hills State Park and let them run on the trails and swim for nearly 2 hours until the sun set. I think we succeeded in wearing us all out, myself included.
Saturday: Rohan & I went to Columbia to look for a few things and to just bum around. We took advantage of the beautiful day and took a long walk through Mizzou's Campus, there are so many old, cool looking buildings! The car ride there and back, Rohan got to listen to some board review lectures, poor kid is going to be such a dork!
Sunday: We spent some time with the puppies in the morning and then headed to Des Moines. I had seen a couple of cool running trails and wanted to try them out since the stroller was working. The first was a great trail off of 163 in Pleasant Hill by LakeSide Fitness, it was a 1.25 mile paved track around a lake that we ran twice, we would have gone around again but the wind was kicking my butt! Then we headed towards downtown to grab a bite to eat before we hit the other trail, we stopped at the Gateway Market, terrific salad bar! The other trail, Kruidenier Trail, is downtown and goes over and along Gray's Lake Park and was 1.91 miles. It was really nice to be able to run along the trails and Rohan loves being outside and the motion of the stroller. He did terrific! Once again car ride = board review lectures!
While we were out running we heard back from Mike that his flight was overbooked and he was bumped. We are glad he is enjoying the sun and hope he's relaxing, but we miss him and can't wait to see him on Tuesday. I came to the realization that we do a TON of tag-team parenting, kind of hard to do on your own:)
