A few days ago they used an arm chair to create their vehicle. That's Isaac driving, John Paul riding shot gun and the girls in back. All the luggage is on the roof.
And when it was time for the girls to drive things got a little willy-nilly in back.
It wasn't long before the grins turned to giggles and the giggles got rowdy and the roof of the vehicle collapsed. Luckily the girls handled it well and chose to announce "we're there" just as the roof fell in.
Isaac fans, please note Bei Bei is peeking out the car window. He's four and that tiger is still a constant sidekick. Not sure how we'll ever break the habit, or even if we want to!
And a little "some things never change" photo evidence.
Lyds and Julianna, going on a trip, August 2009, Lydia just turned two, Julianna 3 and a half. They were really into train trips during this particular season. We still play with most of those toys almost 4 years later - the silk scarves (purple and pink, gifts from my college roommate, are almost always involved in the pretend - they've had at least 10,000 different purposes) and Julianna's panda Jing Jing and a baby blanket crocheted by my mom (on Lydia's lap) that we still use all the time. The flat bed train car is actually the baby cradle turned upside down (and again, it's still in use today). The baby rattle (hanging off their luggage) finally broke about half way through Luke's infancy. Some things never seem to change.....

I have a photo on my desk of Julianna dressed up in heels and a man's tie, bag over her shoulder ready to go to America! Looks like "going on a trip" will a favorite game for years to come. Love you all!
