Turn an ordinary family walk into something memorable just by varying the location!  This past week, I took my kids to Seidman Park, a rustic park with no playground.  It's draw is a great trail system that weaves up and down hills, through hardwoods and wetlands.  The trails are well-marked and well-worn.  Some places are sandy and others are muddy, but overall the trails are in great shape.  Although it's bumpy in places, my 3-wheeled jogging stroller navigated the trails well.  My husband has also been known to carry a kiddo in the Kelty backpack a time or two.  Lots of folks also bring Fido along for a walk, which is allowed if he is on a leash.

Now is a perfect time to get outside with all the the leaves turning.  Beautiful, brilliant color is waiting for your fall family photo, so don't forget your camera!  (It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle or two as well.)
