Ella slowly waking up, though compelled to put on mom’s socks

…As you do

Eleanor helping dad put tuck brother in for nap time

Both kids were excited about the cherries from the farmer stand pitstop earlier. Des halted immediately with the first lick more tart than expected. Needless to say, and somewhat surprisingly, they bailed on their snack

Somewhere there’s a similar photo of dad sleeping with a leg stuck in the crib

In a new series of Facetiming with Toddlers, the kids pause long enough to talk to mom and dad while they begin their 2700-mile mountain and Grand Canyon road trip adventure.

Eleanor seemed quite content at Camp Grandma

Father’s Day 2017

On a pleasant Father’s Day trip to the zoo, Desmond manages to not scare away one of the budgies (with mom’s patient persistence)

Still dubious of the rope bridges, Eleanor takes a few cautious steps

Exploring the stream

Making friends with goats while practicing “nice touches”

Des and one penguin in particular had a thing going for a while

Dad: “Look Eleanor- look at mom and brother!”
Eleanor: “Huh?”

Pointing at all the fishies

Watching the rhinos via “skyfari”

Roundtrip with an intermission to switch seats

Ella passed out…

Seriously, passed out.

“Happy Father’s Day! Hear’s your Boba Fett card, dad!”
