This is Ally. She is about 10 years old. She loves going for walks. So today I took her out early during the day so I didn’t get involved in other things and get cranky when she wanted me to take her out and I wanted to finish what I was doing.

So off we went to the park. I figured she needed a good run today so I took her to a large park and we walked around. However, as the day started to heat up, I started to think like maybe, just maybe, this wasn’t such a great idea. So to get to the car quicker, I took a shortcut through the protected area. Now before anyone starts to think anything funny, there was a path through the protected area, and that’s where we headed.

As we walked, Ally would run in front of me, and then stop suddenly. I couldn’t work out what she was doing until I got some sand in my shoes. Then I realised. Her little feet were too hot on the sand. So we continued down the sandy track until we got to the shady park. I don’t think her feet are too bad. She’s not limping.

Here’s the path.

Just to finish off our day, I saw some really kewl graffiti.
