Dogs playing(ish): This morning, Chris, Jen and I all worked while Loki and Basil played. Actually Basil felt done with playing almost as soon as he started, and after barking at Loki, he eventually went in his crate for protection. Being the ever-energetic golden doodle puppy that Loki meant, of course, that he was dissapointed. He really wanted to play with Basil!
We all took a lunch break and Chris and Jenn got delicious Mexican food while I walked the dogs. I left Basil in the car afterwards so he wouldn’t get snow slush around Chris and Jen’s house. Loki was sad that Basil was in the car and at one point got up on his hind legs to look inside longingly.
It was really fun chatting with Chris and Jen over my torta. Then Chris and I finished working and hit the road by around 3:30. I’m so gratefil Chris agreed to help me drive our second car across the country!
Kids Playing: Back at home people have been trying not to go crazy with almost every possession we own on it’s way to Raleigh. There certainly has been plenty of screen time, but the kids have done a great job using their imagination when they are tired of screens, or when Lily or I mandates a no-screen time. Here are some pictures and a video that Lily captured:
More driving: Chris and I drove for about 8 hours and stayed the night in Kansas City. We stopped for dinner at a nice diner in Hays, a college town in Kansas. Basis, again, was a perfect companion. I also had a great time chatting with Chris about music over dinner. He recently recommended the rapper NF to me and I want to check him out.
After driving, we drove another 4 hours and arrived late in Kansas City.
