For fun, I decided to map my route, and to my delight I discovered that Elijah and I had traveled 1.44 miles while watching Archer and Shelly play kickball! The green arrow is where we started, and where the kids were playing. The red square is where I stopped, and where my car was parked, and that's where we all climbed into the little Echo and drove back home. We should have walked there and back, then I could have added another 0.4 miles each way!
Anyway, this map reminds me that even when I'm just standing around talking to the other grown ups, and when I'm entertaining E as we watch the kids to do their activity... Even when I'm not really working out in the gym or running on the treadmill, I AM doing SOMETHING. And that day, it worked out to 1.44 miles!

I love the overlay of your play time with E on the school playground. I have seen this pictured in the cartoon Family Circus hundreds of times; and of course this is what is in the yard after a new snow and the kids have been out in it for 5 minutes. And just think, E may have traveled even farther than you 'cause he was still moving when you took time to talk to other parents! As Grandma and I always say "It all counts." Way to Go....
