2 Hours Walk

In weekend, I usually take my 2 year-old-daughter to walk around the apartment in the morning. It helps my wife to do house work with no obstructions and to have a little bit of free time. The daughter likes the walk also. I don't have specific course, but generally we go to McDonald's near house to buy apple juice for her and get back with different route. Sometimes we stop by grocery store to buy stuffs asked by my wife. It is just about half mile walk, but it takes 1.5 to 2 hours, 2.5 hours if I pass by the grocery store. It is the only time to be just me and her alone in a week. She is always with her mother except that chance. It is a sweet date. She is curious about everything on the sidewalk, taking 20 minutes to walk one side of a block. She likes to climb up the stairs of unknown apartments, wave to airplanes and fly seeds of dandelions. She rarely blows the dandelion seeds because she is too weak to blow away. She pats it, scratches it on the ground, stumps on it or picks off seeds with her fingers. This weekend and Monday (I took a day off on Monday because I and my wife were sick), She flew seeds of 50 dandelions. She seems to like the walk so much because I just let her do anything she wants. We may make the route longer as she grows up, but it is fun to walk half miles taking 2 hours.
