sidewalks!

Yesterday we had Stake Conference, and so we went up to Centreville (about 20 minutes north of us). James dropped us off at the entrance to the building, and then went to park.

After a VERY long meeting (I say long because our little family could NOT stay seated. I think we got up and down to go "get drinks" or "go potty" about 10 times total...it made the meeting seem twice as long.) we headed back to our car.

It was a good little hike through the parking lot and out through some woods to get to where we were parked. When we reached the parking lot, Eliza said, "Wow...sidewalks! It's been so long since I've walked on a sidewalk."

We realized that she probably has not walked on a sidewalk since we've lived in Virginia. Our other kids will grow up not even knowing what they are! CRAZY!

You must really live out in the boondocks my friend! Eliza's response is so genuine and hilarious! What a sweet little observation. :)

I grew up sidewalk-less, although there were sidewalks in town...does your "downtown" have sidewalks? I wish so bad that my kid(s?) could grow up in a small town. It is the best!

We do have sidewalks downtown, but we never really just walk downtown. It's always in one store and back out to the parking lot. So, I guess she doesn't think that counts...
