Strollin' Through Grand Oaks

Monday, October 8, 2007

Although it's been fairly hot here in Austin (where is autumn again?), we try to get out for a daily stroll with Kyla and Nobu. We hit the trail around Grand Oaks which has been newly redone and runs behind the houses. It's a lovely walk, and a good workout (1.25 miles).

We LOVE our Bugaboo stroller (thanks mum and dad!) and we got a special sun canopy and shade. It has UV protection and basically surrounds Kyla entirely to protect her sensitive skin from this blazing Texas sun. Plus it's pink, so it's very pretty! When the sun protection is in place, she just sits back and chews on the seat straps (hours of entertainment) or plays with "Pip" one of her crinkly stuffed bugs that straps on to the center bar (the other two bugs hang on her car seat). When we go through the "forest" areas of the trail, we take down the canopy and Kyla gets her nature fix. She really enjoys looking at the trees, bushes or just Nobu walking along beside the stroller.
