A walk and a bike ride

It may be commonplace in some countries for families to get to go out on walks together, but here it is not common. The other day, though, we decided to go for it, and it was wonderful! It felt so good to get out of the house and move, and be together, and watch Ellie ride her bike in a straight line for a long distance! A girl can only ride circles on the roof for so long.

We walked on some back roads to a University campus that is about half a mile from our place. 

Big dorms...

Beautiful flowers...

A handsome boy...

 Ellie rode so far that her tail end got sore. She decided to push the stroller rather than ride her bike. This did not last long.

 
And, my favorite staircase in the whole world.  These are the stairs you use to get over the boundary wall of the university. You go up one side, step over the wall, and go down a similar staircase on the other side. Love it!
