@the_lotus We normally do go to see something cool. She really does seem to enjoy it. She generally wants to stick around wherever we go for longer than I want to. I think she just figured out that she can get there on her own feet or have me carry her there... and the latter is easier for her
I think my question is worded a bit misleading about exercise. I don't want her to get more exercise, but I do want her to experience nature more and that is difficult when you are being carried. I never rush her and she can spend really long times looking at some bird or flower or even a rock or stick, so that is also why these trips take a "few hours"
