Long Walk

Brynlee decided she wanted to take the little girls on a walk, even though it was extremely hot outside. So she got them all packed up and headed out! They made it to the end of the street where the neighbors had a lemonade stand. So Brynlee left them there while she ran home to grab some money. Then she ran back so she could get cups of lemonade for everyone. Then she walked the girls back home to give me a glass of lemonade, then headed back out to finish their walk. I thought they would've been done at that point, but she REALLY wanted to take them around the corner and down the next street. So she set back out. I had to drop Brooklyn off at dance so I looked for them on my way out and didn't see them...I even asked the kids at the lemonade stand if they had seen them. When I came back into the neighborhood a couple minutes later the kids at the lemonade stand point to where they saw Brynlee running by the Jensen's house. So I drove around the corner and found Brynlee alone. She said they were really thirsty so she left the girls and ran to Marc's house to get cups of water but he wasn't home. She really wanted me to leave so she could be in charge and finish their walk, but I looked up the street and saw the little ones in the wagon on the side of the road way far up the street. A neighbor was talking to them and I'm sure she was confused and concerned, so I drove up there to explain why there were 2 little kids in a wagon on the side of the road. lol. I drove home and waited for Brynlee to bring the little ones home and quickly got them some water. Brynlee was clearly hitting the heat exhaustion stage and started getting really sick. She had just run up and down the streets multiple times, plus pulled the wagon of girls around. So I got the AC blowing and had her lay down by it until her body was able to cool down. Wow. What a walk! It touched my heart how much she wanted to do this for her sisters and do it by herself. I sure love these kids.
