Eliot loves going on long walks. With Rissie around he has been taking advantage of every opportunity that arises to get out and stretch his legs. Nearly every morning, during Peter's morning nap, he and Rissie will head out on a little walkabout. Behind our apartment complex is a large nature reserve with sprawling lawns, winding foot paths, and ponds populated with exotic water fowl. Peter likes to get in on the action too and often we will all go out in the afternoon to get some exercise and watch Eliot throw rocks into the water.
Eliot checks something out before running to catch up on the board-walk.
The board-walk wends its way through a thicket of swamp paperbark trees.
Hefting a branch into the water. It made a jolly splash.

His rocks are lined up and he's ready to go.
A running start is best for throwing rocks into the pond.

Peter gets a little walking time in too.
Eliot throwing a stone. He has pretty good follow through.
A lovely afternoon for a walk.

How idyllic! Reminds me of our last walk on a boardwalk, though the scenery and wildlife was less spectacular. It was fun to skype with you and Spencer the other day. Miss you guys.
