Life on an Island

Today we went to Mill Hill for a walk. Mill Hill has a very steep hill, but after getting through it the view at the top is nice.

When the car arrived at the park parking lot,

Mom: Did anyone else bring water?

Kids: No, too heavy.

Mom: How can you not bring water for a walk?

Kids: You brought it.

Mom: Not for all. (to dad) Would you take it on the walk?

Dad: No it's an hour walk, no need to bring it.

Mom: Ohhhh. (started to drink water from the bottle before the walk.)

(Dad tried to grab the water and the 9-yr-old got in between to shield mom. Mom felt heartwarming that the young child was helping.)

9-yr-old: No touching. It's all for me!
