Nico does well when he has lots of physical activity, and I mean to the point of exhaustion. He has energy to burn, and lately a good hike is just what the doctor ordered. Aaron has been taking Nico for early morning hikes at Runyon Canyon. They check out dogs, celebrities, and the view.
Recently, Super Mom Stephanie Evans suggested an amazing park, so Nico and I headed there this last week. It's called Debs Park, an incredible outdoor space in Mt. Washington. It's a bird sanctuary and has easy hiking trails. It's super kid friendly. They even have free offroad strollers to lend at the front entrance. They have special areas set up for kids to explore the grounds. Rocks to climb and streams to play in. Nico seemed lost in his own exploration. He found a pump for drawing fresh water and spent tons of time and energy there. He loved a little playhouse that they had set up in their compost education area.
My only advice is to wear long pants because there is lots of poison oak along the deeper hike paths.
We're so happy to hear Nico scream "hike!" anytime he sees a mountain in the distance.
I hope this love of the outdoors sticks with him for good.
