A MORNING WALK WITH GRANDSON SILAS

As Hallie, Mike, and I were heading off for a morning walk, little Silas indicated that he wanted to come, too. Hallie suggested he stay behind with his dad.

“Why can’t he come?” I demanded to know. “That’s why we bought the wagon.” At least, I thought that was the reason.

Hallie and Mike were skeptical because of the gravel road and the steep pitches, but when Silas climbed into the wagon, they acquiesced.


Well, it was the first time – and probably the last – that Silas will be pulled up Plank Pitch in the wagon. Hallie and Mike took turns pulling (and/or pushing) to the mailbox and back. As we returned, Silas decided to walk up the lane, and he didn’t ask his mom to carry him until the steepest part of the incline. KW

  1. It appears Silas had the best of the deal. I'm glad he did as much as he did. It demonstrates maturity on his part. Nice photos.Thanks for sharing.

  2. Yes, we learned wagons are best used on level, smooth ground. Like sidewalks! Love the pictures though. :-)

  3. Chuck -- I love your phrase, "demonstrates maturity on his part." He is an energetic little guy. He runs everywhere.

    Hi Chris! We don't have sidewalks, not even in town, but our gravel isn't deep, so we were able to navigate the road all right. It's just that the steepest inclines were difficult. You can tell by the set of Silas' back that he enjoyed the ride.
