To add a little variety to our walks, I’ve introduced a little randomness.
I downloaded an app for my phone that generates a random option — there’s a ton of them out there — and set options for “left,” “right,” and “straight.”
I tried it out today. It was bitter cold — the first real test of our resolve to keep up these walks, no matter the weather — and the kids had their hackles up. But they were mildly intrigued at the suspense of our path. Every time we got to an intersection, I pulled out the app and let it determine our next move.
It was a short walk, but it was a new walk for us. When we got back, I made hot cocoa for everyone.
