eco hike (Maeve)

She had been informed as everything had went on and she gathered up her small bag with supplies. "It's not too hot today," she said as she waited with Oliver with her silver bracelet dangling but she was not much into jewelry either just hanging out with her brother. "If the kid starts screaming that is your responsibility though." She would punt a kid before she did anything with them.

If it were to be strange he did not find it so as he waved. "Welcome," he said. "If I can get about two minutes we should be good to set out on the hike." It was strange but his life was changing to and he was getting out to do more as was his sister and that was what he liked the most. Plus Ella always ready for things he laughed at the thought that most the time she had probably seen more than he.

You could tell the season was starting to change in the short time she’d be here. So Ella was in trousers and a zip up baby hoodie with a bucket hat. Even if it was cooling down you could still get heatstroke so Maeve made sure her granddaughter was dressed for the part. On the flip side Ella loved being with her nana and she was also used to Oliver as well.

“I’ll start when you both feel ready. My granddaughter certainly is” she replied. Turning to Elyse she added “where I live is good hiking country. It’s good to try a different type of terrain other than rolling green hills and cutting across fields”. She also had one of Peyton’s baby slings as well in case she needed to carry Ella that way but the energetic child liked being on her feet most of the time.

She nodded as she listened and spoke. "That makes sense I could see that making sitting around too long boring," she said as she heard Oliver. "I guess that's our cue," she said. She was an outdoor type person which she thought would help. "This could only be better if we see something exotic but I doubt that happens."

While not on the kid train since that was more of his sister's hope and dream he did stop and look at Ella. She seemed bright and excited to learn. "Little miss," he said as he looked at her. "I'm glad you are here too," he said as he laughed because he did not know baby speak at all but children always had their own language anyhow.

Hearing Elyse talking about a mini me made Maeve wonder if she was thinking about a child of her own. “I was doing the same things with David when he was Ella’s age. They are a lot of fun at that age; and yes David is very into science as well as wanting to know how things worked” she replied and looked to Oliver. “Ella was trying to say your name. That’s how quickly they can pick things up”. It was clear she took after both her parents and the little lady laughed back before looking curiously at Elyse.

"I had tried getting into it but all those formulas," she said as she laughed. It was sad but so true that she was pretty instead of smart though ever since she had came out to the island she had studied a few things more here and there not that she minded. Left she put into her mind as she continued on. "So I know here must be different but I do imagine there are things you miss from back home?"

She knew she did but she also knew it was better to be here but that was not a case for everyone.
