How many miles per hour can a 2 year old walk?

Or should I say... How many hours does it take a 2 year old to walk a mile?

A few days ago I took Kevin and Ryan on a walk around the neighborhood. I told them we were looking for bugs although I knew it was probably a bit too cold for bugs. We were also looking for cats and dogs. Kevin loves cats and dogs even he is allergic to cats. Eddie and Ryan are petrified of both no matter how small. I was telling Kevin and Ryan we were looking for dogs and Ryan says "No... puppies!" meaning, No, Mom, we are not looking for DOGS, we are looking for PUPPIES! Silly Mommy! We didn't find any bugs as I anticipated but we did find a cat. Ryan practically climbed up my legs and into my arms. Poor little guy. Kevin was all over it patting it and having fun. The cat's owner was there and showing off tricks the cat could do like roll... and how much the cat loved to be help upside down (it really did enjoy it!) Well, I wasn't sure how far we'd go but we ended up walking a 1/2 mile to the elementary school. I wanted to check out the route we'd be walking when we take Eddie to school in the fall. Kevin and Ryan did great all the way there. But then we had to come home. I held them about 1/2 the way back... at the same time! They were so funny saying "UPPIE.. uppie... UPPPPPPPPIE" in unison. You couldn't resist picking them up as back breaking as it was. Next time I will bring the stroller for when they need a rest... or the wagon. It was fun though. We got some fresh air, some exercise and met some neighbors too.

And I know you are wondering where the pictures are and in a very unlike me move, I left the camera at home. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy things without having to take pictures. Did I just say that? Ok, only SOMETIMES. And also I didn't want to carry the camera and chase K & R. But next time I'll bring the stroller so I'll stash the camera in there!
