Forced the daughter to go on a long walk with me yesterday. Now that she is full pre-teen mode I find her attitude is a zillion times better when I rip her out of her room and force her to do stuff outside with me. The first 15 minutes is miserable for everyone but after that it is always good quality time with my gal. On our walk to the beach yesterday we hit a hazard when we came upon two scooters blocking the corner of the sidewalk. Nightmare! Even though I was ready to give up and head back my thrill-seeking daughter made the crazy suggestion that we just walk in the street around them. I am happy to report that we made it safely but took another route home to avoid hitting that hazard again. It was all well worth it once we hit our favorite bench by the ocean...........
