trip to moscow

we took a long road trip with g-ma & g-pa to moscow, idaho to see the kids’ great-grandparents there.  it was a two-day drive and the kids were wiped but we were glad we split the drive up rather than try the 11-12 hour trek in one go.  the kids had a good time hanging with the fam and exploring great-grandma & great-grandpa’s house.

when we got there, gavin kicked things off by showing off his car collection

later, he tested out the piano
...then lilah tried the piano
we went into the backyard to play baseball
lilah preferred running after the football
lilah found a new use for an old heirloom
and busily charmed everyone
they both found some neat puzzles and games
...and occasionally were able to share
but they both agreed wholeheartedly when the playdoh came out
