Ok yesterday was a busy day at the park. Decided to change watches to see if the gold would bring any good luck? And… nope still as a crazy as a Pearl Jam concert at the playgrounds. After a little time of chaos at the park a little cool down walk was in order. We were unable to peel my daughter away from the chaos so we left her there while we took the boys for a stroll. With three kids under 5 it’s all about divide and conquer.

I love my petrol cars. The RR is like driving on a cloud, such a smooth ride. Here’s my wife’s RR behind my car.

I see what you did with the cars: get the extra-cargo one for the Mrs, and keep the limited-cargo one for yourself 😜

Although she did a make a comment about 6 months ago that I don’t have a car to lug all the children. So I took that as something I had to rectify Now I can haul everyone to the rivers for fishing. Or break away into the mountains for some 4x4 action.
