Mom-daughter time..

Last Saturday, Sean had a tournament. So he and Aji left around 8:30 after breakfast. Rhea was sad that she couldn't go with them since she had her tennis lesson at noon. So to mix things up a little Aji suggested that we go for a walk.

So once the boys left, Rhea and I got ready and ventured out. I decided to do the 3 mile look and make a stop at the park which was on our way.

She was so excited to play in the park even though it was still chilly. Soon we said goodbye to the park and continued our walk. She hopped around, was very excited to see the golf course on our way. There were people playing and she was happy posing for a picture.

 Around mile 2 all the enthusiasm started to wear off and she wanted to go back home. Since we were beyond half way i decided to distarct her, we did short quick sprints from lamp post to lamp post, admired the yards that were full of flowers, so some doggies. Even then she was increasingly restless as we got nearer to our street. This was the first time she was coming this route so I decided to follow street names and told her that we might be lost and she has to figure out a way to get us home. Smehow she seemed pretty excited at the thought of being lost (i thinks its from her books) and that saved the day. When we reached the intersection to our community, I still pretended like I didnt know the place and she was super confident we were on the right track.  She was so excited when we could see our house and very proud of her 'navigation' skills :)

It was one of the best mom-daughter outings and we plan to have more in the future.
