(Part two)

As I rounded a curve in the path, heading toward the big hill, there they were again, my Hansel and Gretel trail. How could I ignore it? This time, the length between the little round and tan circles had become more and more frequent. Finally, I started up the hill, a final push home. As I willed myself up the steep incline, I saw a woman and a stroller at the top of the hill. The woman was bent forward, reaching out but the sun was in my eyes and I couldn’t quite see.

Approaching them now, I had a clear idea of what had made the trail of golden tan circles. It was a Cheerios trail and the creator of the Cheerios trail was one of the cutest little boys you’ve ever seen. He was happy as could be, riding in his stroller, the sun shining while his mommy pushed and occasionally stopped to resupply his snack bag with more Cheerios.

I smiled at them. They smiled back and I headed on home.  I had caught up with “The Cheerio Kid.” Feeling good and thinking of my own little happy snacker, I headed home.

I know one thing for sure from my day of walking and snack tracking, I’d follow my own “Cheerio Kid’s” trail anywhere.  I bet you have one at home too, who’s ready and waiting to take a walk. Don’t forget the bag of Cheerios.
