spending time with his niece (Haylen)

Lilyana spied a beautiful little butterfly in a flower and carefully got her camera out of pocket to take a picture.

Thomas stopped and watched her, smiling a bit, "I see your a photographer as well"

Lilyana nodded. "Occasionally." she said and put the camera back. "I could take a picture of you and you wouldn't even notice." she grinned.

Thomas smiled, then winked at her, "I would not be surprised" he replied

"Not watching your back around me, are we, Detective Kelly?" she teased him.

"Oh I will be" Thomas teased back

"I'm ready." she said a little challenging.

Thomas smiled, then continued on the way

Lilyana smiled as she followed him. She already had a few pictures of her uncle from earlier and she knew that he probably didn't notice.

Thomas continued walking along, glancing back at Lilyana every so often

She would grin when he did.
Lilyana noticed a small flower close to the path and studied it for a moment.
"What's this, uncle Thomas?" she asked him, always eager to learn new things.

Thomas stopped, then walked back and looked at the flower, "Ranunculus acris" he replied

"In English please?" she looked at him with a smirk.

Thomas smiled a bit as he looked at her, "Buttercup" he replied

"Now that's something a little girl understands." she replied, smiling.

Thomas smiled, then gently nudged Lilyana with his elbow

Lilyana grinned and then tickled him.

"Hey" Thomas said when she did that, he tickled her back

Lilyana was quick and mostly managed to get away, giggling anyways.

"Your a quick one" Thomas said to her

Lilyana smiled proudly.
"Got a quick uncle to learn from." she said.

Thomas nodded, then playfully nudged her

"Eh." she giggled, defending herself with her own attack against him.

Thomas smiled, then tickled Lily before continuing on the path

Lilyana giggled and then broke a small yellow blossom and put it into her hair, wearing it in a ponytail, it was easy to make it stay there. She then quickly followed after Thomas.
