Took the girls and my mom on a little road trip today. We arrived at Malibu Creek just in time for Maddie to get "car-sick" outside of the car. I know.... sounds like wer'e having a blast huh? Then we started out on our hike and it couldn't have been better. They kids spotted a deer and it was a beautiful day. We stopped for a snack when a Russian boy, about Maddie's age, came along . Their group were obviously tourists enjoying a hike. The boy kept trying to talk to Maddie in Russian. Maddie kept laughing and gave herself a case of the giggles. Out of nowhere she blurted out....."At last you have rescued me my handsome prince". We all started to laugh and the boy laughed too.... although he looked confused. We left the picnic area continuing on our hike. The girls wanted to play in the creek before we went home. We headed over the bridge and the girls had a blast splashing in the cool water. It looked so nice I even took off my shoes to soak my feet. Suddenly the Russian boy appeared at the top of the bridge and was waving to Maddie. We all looked up and he said "Farewell my beautiful princess"! Maddie didn't miss a beat and called back to him "farewell my sweet prince". Nana and I stood there dumb founded. We can only guess one of the adults in the tourist group translated what Maddie had said to the boy. In turn we guess that same adult must have told the boy how to reply in English. Either way it was super cute!!!! Here is a few picks from the day!
