"Let's Go Roading!" is what my girls exclaim to my husband each Saturday morning. I love it! because it gives them a great bonding time together with their Dad and I get a little break from my week long routine. Usually Chris takes the just Lilly and Joe out for a trip through the desert or to the local lake for some Jeep climbing and off-roading (hence the the given nickname "roading" by Lilly) excursion. Last weekend after many weekends of displayed interest (insistent actually), Violet was finally added to the Jeep Crew! She LOVES it! Both girls get so giddy and excited when Chris says, "Who want's to get in the Jeep?"
Now that High School has started again, Joseph's homework load has picked up quite a bit. Now Joe has decided he would rather take advantage of the peace and quiet of the girls being gone to get his work done, so it's just Daddy and his girls for now. Last weekend they went to Lake Skinner in search of the perfect place to drink their juice boxes. Chris said they were so excited to find that perfect spot that over looked the Lake and eagerly got out to enjoy those drinks. They sat next to each other feet tapping and sipping down their little boxes of juice, as cute as can be. Of course, he said that lasted about five minutes when our little Violet (she is our "Messy Marvin") decided to squeeze her box, get herself wet with juice and pick up a handful of dirt all at the same time. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Welcome to my world hunny!
This weekend, Mom got to go on the adventure in the Jeep, because it involved "shopping". I rarely miss an opportunity to put my husband's credit cards to good use. So I tagged along to some off-roading fair in town. It was fun to see the girls very attached to their Dad and excited about all the other Jeeps and Mules that they saw. They were even looking under the cars (excuse me, Jeeps) at the struts and wheels and things. I took a few pictures, so that you can see how cute they all were. It was a really nice day, and I thoroughly enjoyed observing my girls interactions with their Daddy.
