Paddle Boarding and Monster Trucks

I've taken a hiatus from being "the mom who takes pictures of every moment of her kids' lives". We've been spending lots of time at the park and with friends and all of the normal summer stuff. Last night for FHE, we went and spent the evening on Raft Island with the ever hospitable Chris. His granddaughter, B, came with us and she and Max played together. We paddle boarded, threw rocks and overturned rocks to see the crabs scuttling away. We walked around the beautiful island which is definitely amazing. Back at the house, she and Max played with her fun toys. She has a battery-powered monster truck. When Max was sitting in it, he came up to my waist. He did really well at maneuvering around, even putting it in reverse. He kept hopping out to "look a the motor" (who's his daddy?). When we started noticing that it was getting late, we asked Chris what time it was. He didn't know of course because we were on "island time". Gotta love it!
