James, Luna and I went on a hike today. It was nice just the three of us and Luna savored the attention. She has always been a challenging child, sometimes downright driving us crazy. She was pleasant and positive the whole way. We walked up a hill overlooking our village and several others. The sun was out and it was unusually warm, still about 6 centigrade but just the other day there was ice.
We talked about backpacking when we retuned home. She wants to backpack. She asked what she would carry and is proud of her strength. This tiny girl is VERY strong. She can pick up Liam and carry him, carry the basket of kindling in the house easily and lug a heavy backpack around Europe. James and I thought about enrolling her in wrestling! We talked about the first thing we would do when we were home. James and I immediately agreed on snuggling in our bed and watching an episode of Dr. Katz and then maybe hibernating for a few days playing with all of our toys: the microwave, blender, breadmaker, washer and dryer, wifi, central heating, all of our luxuries. We would of course have to play a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide on who must leave the house to get food as neither of us will want to go to town. Discussing this, we sat at the top for a while and watched the sheep and the busses drive up the hill to Ocland. We headed back down to home. What a lovely hike.
