Down the Hobbit Path

Plans for Jack to sleepover with some favorite old friends later this week changed at the last minute, and to compensate we arranged an impromptu party at their house tonight.

After a feast of spaghetti and texas toast, the kids armed themselves for a nerf gun battle and the grownups headed out on a walk to make room for cake. We picked up the nearby Cedar Hills Parkway and spent a couple of miles enjoying perfect weather and the chance to catch up on everything.

It's a beautiful path that follows a canal as it winds through neighborhoods behind homes, cuts through the city park, and passes by one of the coolest tree forts ever.

We didn't catch a glimpse of any of the hobbits who must live there, though. Perhaps they were out walking to make room for cake, too.
