Summer Bucket List: Grandmas And Granddads..

Bucket list No 23.) Grandmas And Granddads : Fun 2o minutes train ride, and 4 miles walk to go see Grandma and Granddad. Bike/run/ scooter or walk. Lovely on a sunny day.

On Wednesday we arranged that the first day of the school holidays we  would get up at 6.30 to do our running. All good intentions went out the window when we got up late!! 

Oh well first day of the school holidays, still loads more days to go!

So off we went to visit grandma and granddad.

First up a mile walk to the train station. Me on foot with Mollie the collie, my daughter on my scooter and my son did a longer detour (2 miles run) to get his run done and met us so far down the road.

Then off through the park and on to the train station.


10 minutes on the train and arrive 2 miles away from Grandma and Granddads house.

A walk over the train bridge then my son ran the next 2 miles. My daughter scooted and me and Mollie ran/walked and a bit of a carry the rest of the way.

A mile to go it looked like rain. We was ok when we got to grandmas house though, the sun came back out and we had a fun time on their garden!!

    Nice post but I can't find any reflections. Perhaps you linked the wrong post to Weekend Reflections?

    You have a lot planned for the summer! We do not get to go out much during the summer because of the intense heat, but it would be fun to have a lit like that!

    It looks like you're really keen to work on completing your bucket list, day one and one crossed off, although I'm sure you'll go to Grandma and Granddad's again over the holidays. Your two are really keen to get out and about, it's great to see! Look forward to more of your summer bucket list being completed. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
