Walk through Leichhardt

Abi enjoyed her family excursion today, with a walk from home to and from Leichhardt Marketplace for lunch. We walked through Hawthorn Canal area which is a favourite area for dog exercising (off leash). Abi walked a bit of the way herself, armed with a little stick and exploring flowers and trees. She said that she liked real dogs (not just dollies) and was interested in the many breeds of dog we saw. She noted some were following their owners while others were on a leash. We watched as one Pekingnese dog did a poo and its owner picked up the treasure with a plastic bag.

The lunch was eaten while we sat outside a record store to watch the Olympics on TV (and Abi also danced to music playing from the store). Teriyaki chicken rice was fed to her but at the end it was too salty and Abi ate some plain bread instead. Her mother bought a book for her and one for Pascale and Abi carried this bag all the way home while seated in her umbrella stroller - even as she was napping!
