My adopted Maori family

Today Angel and I spent the day with Josie's warm, welcoming Maori family. We went to Sizzler for her daughter, Estelle's birthday and then hung out in her house and let Angelina play with Perth, who is Josie's 7 month-old granddaughter. It was nice to just chill out. I am not used to just chilling out because my days are usually spent running around all over the place, either doing some sort of fitness activity or shopping or errands or attending meetings or babysitting or studying, etc... I rarely have days where i just sit around and do very little. Anyway, it was a nice change. This is the third time i have hung out with my adopted Maori family. I just love them all so much. I love the Maori culture.
