I love Maxiane's spirit. Yesterday morning, we mentioned that our friends, the Hollands, had offered to take us out on their boat in the evening if we thought Maxiane would enjoy it.
Here was my conversation with her about the plan around mid-morning:
Me: The Hollands want to take you tubing this evening if you are up for it.
Maxiane: Tubing?! Sure, that sounds fun. I've never gone tubing before. I would love to.
Me: So you are up for being dragged behind the boat on a tube?
Maxiane: Behind a BOAT?!
Me: Yeah, on a lake.
Maxiane: On a LAKE?!
When we actually got out on the lake in the evening, Maxiane wanted someone else to go first, but then she was chomping at the bit to get her own turn.
The big, comfortable, safe "couch" tube eventually sprung a leak, so the Hollands broke out the traditional tube, which is a bit faster and scarier. You really have to hold on!
Again, Maxiane watched someone else do it first and then was ready to take her chances.
Today we played it safer by browsing Nashville, Indiana and then had dinner at the Michels' house.
More perfect summer days!
