In an effort to increase our activity I decided to bring the kids back to The Biltmore. Weather permitting my goal is to bring the girls here after school twice a week. Our typical visit is an hour and a half to two hours of constant (and enjoyable) walking (and in Kid's case running). Our annual passes have more than paid for themselves... I really underestimated all the property had to offer. They have beautiful gardens, lawns and trails and you really have free reign to use them as you see fit. I think this in addition to our now daily walks home from school fit a pretty good level of exercise into Kid's life without feeling like we're trying to "do something". I think the key for us is finding something that we would do anyway and just doing it more. Once school is out in another month (MONTH!!!!) I'll have a lot more time and energy to devote to choosing fun physically active outings and adventures.
In the meantime we'll just pretend we're Vanderbilts.
I love this series of pictures... I think they're hilarious... it looks like she's training for something.
What can I say?... those large open spaces just make kids want to RUN.
I spent the majority of the day getting my own workout...
Thankfully it wasn't all up hill...
