Setting off on a long, long walk...




This afternoon, Piper & Polly packed their suitcases and set off on a long, long walk...all the way to Australia.   Joey decided to go too. They set off on their long journey at 4:30PM, about an hour before it got dark, allowing plenty of time. After many stops along the route, they actually ran out of gas right at the end of our street, falling just short of their intended destination. (There just must be a quicker way I'm sure they were thinking!) Of course, by now they were both tired. Luckily, mommy, daddy and Harrison were following behind just to make sure they were okay; after all, it is a pretty long walk for two little girls. It was also lucky that the novelty of walking along with their suitcases had worn off by now, and daddy got to carry both of the suitcases, and at times, a weary traveller, all the way home! He did look especially pleased about this. The walk must have really tired them out. Both little girls were tucked up in bed and asleep by 7PM.
