Moonstruck

Claire loved her first piece of un-stolen Moonstruck chocolate.




Ella naturally saved hers "because this elephant is too cute to eat".



Extra fun with grandma and grandpa along.

Flying Turkeys

Three flights, two kids, one mom and a very long day.


The kids were pretty good. Claire had trouble being in one spot for so long.


But when I plugged her in she was just fine with it.


Ella has always been a great traveller. Give her some markers and a captive audience and she's happy all day.


Exiting the last flight. We made it home! Time to find dad!!!

Little girls little girls

Nothing like starting a day out like this...


Her tongue is out because she loves the taste of Cetaphil and is trying to lick the extra off her face. Then she rubs her stomach and chirps "yummy da tummy, yummy da tummy"! Simultaneously sad and hilarious.

Tower

The endeavor began modest enough...


When dad got involved it grew


And grew until it touched the ceiling.
