Summer has finally arrived. The rain has stopped and Bobby has adjusted nicely to his summer school schedule. We have been doing a good job of working on Bobby's exercise goal now that it is nice enough to be outside. After dinner in the evenings we have been taking Bobby to the WVU Coliseum to walk laps. I am super happy to report that he has been doing a great job. He is walking beside us without holding our hands and isn't running off. Yesterday I even took him by myself and he stayed right beside me without ANY problems. Hold on a second, the angels are singing in my ear!!
Due to his awesome success I have been looking for some new places to take Mr. Bobby since he seems up to the challenge. Yes, a whole new world of getting out and about is opening up to him!! When his respite worker came this afternoon, we headed off to a new destination...the trails at White Park. Since we would be going out into the woods I wanted some backup.
How did he do you ask? Well, he did AWESOME!!!!!
There was a bench, so of course, he had to sit down for a minute. Not sure why the bench was so far off of the ground.
Off again...
Time for another break!! Bobby HAS to look at the water, it is a must!!
Off again....
Not sure what his fascination with this one particular tree was, but in a woods full of trees, this one called to him and he had to stop and shake it!!
Had to stop and look out over the water again when we were returning back to the car...
I'm so extremely proud of how well he did!! We are now on the lookout for new places to take Bobby for his daily walks. Planning to check out more of the local rail trails, Coopers Rock area, Ohiopyle. If anyone has any suggestions of walking trails, please let me know.
