It's getting nice here in Michigan and we were able to take a family walk after dinner. The girls were on their bikes and we walk about a mile and was able to stop in to a friends and let the kids play for a few minute. And I was able to enjoy a cup of coffee with a sweet friend.
But we must back up a few months.... Over the last few months I have been working out and trying to get back into the habit of working out, I went from doing a 5k three times a week when we were still in the Marines to nothing over night. And at the start of the new year like most people do said I was going to start back up and get back into shape. As Little Mermaid said to me when I said that I'm a shape right now so what kind of shape did I want to be. LOL!! Love her! I did very well till I got sick. And was down for a week. And got sick with a bad cold just 10 days later and it lasted hard for two full weeks. And is still handing on. That brings us up to tonight, and our family walk after dinner. I was told by Tinker Bell that Little Mermaid was slow and I would not have to run or anything! Well Tinker Bell was not 100% truthful about that. Little Mermaid is doing great on her big girl bike and just let me tell you I did have to run a little. And by the time we got to our friends house that we drop in on tonight I was glad to stop. I feel like I have not workout in months! But they are already asking to walk tomorrow after dinner. It was something that we were able to do all year long in Cali, but not able to in Michigan. So glad that we are able to get out and see town and do something that is healthy as a family. Can not wait to see where I'm at, at the end of summer.
That is something that we are always working on as a family. Trying to make healthy choice and having fun why doing it. We are the parents that will run and play at the park with our kids and if there is no other kids there we play tag at the park and on the playground. So much fun! I have the best in-laws who have played with us before. And have even gotten our soccer coach to play when he stayed with us for a week over the summer. We are all so happy that summer is coming and we will be getting out more and hope to try some new things.
With summer on it's way....I have found myself on Pinterest looking for some new healthy and fun recipes to try out. And before I know it, it's three hours later and I'm no longer looking at food and that's just bad. But that's another blog for another time. :) But I'm looking forward for trying new recipes and letting you all know how it goes. We would love to know what you do with your family for fun to stay healthy and what are some of your favorite summer time meals?
As always Thank you for stopping by our door step you are always welcome to stop by.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ~ Colossians 3:15-17
