Inspired by the melting snow outside and increasing temperatures I have started thinking about taking longer walks with Jackson. I went back to the pictures that I took on my last trip and found this... It is a perfect fall picture... although taken in December! I took it while taking a walk with my Mom, Dad and Grandpa when we were visiting one of the castles nearby our town. Taking walks is not very popular in the US, especially not in the area I live in - perhaps because it is always covered in snow!
I have a lot of memories associated with walks and my family. My Grandpa used to come over every Sunday and take us to the park when we were little - this was his way of spending time with us. It just seems so natural to me to start walking and exploring the area. We used to gather pretty colorful leaves and chestnuts and later make crafts - you use a large chestnut and a few little ones and hold them together with matches, you can create a dog or a cow, or whatever you want!
The park that we used to visit has a small fenced area where the animals live - deer, wild boars and some birds. We used to go there often and look at the animals, which we thought was the greatest thing!
