WEEKEND WITH THE MOFFITS
Debra and I just returned from a fun-filled weekend with the Moffits. We celebrated two birthdays, watched two promising young thespians audition for parts in the upcoming play, Pinocchio, and hiked through wilderness that few human feet have ever touched.
With Daisy on piano, Papa on guitar, and Neo maybe on vocals, we finished Friday night with a little family singfest.
Ally began the first part of the audition process by introducing herself and mentioning some personal items about her life.
Daisy did the same.
While Ally sits and watches others trying out for the play, Neo sits without quite as much interest in the activity on the stage.
The second phase of the auditions required returning to the stage and singing to the audience.
The third and final phase of auditions included reading lines from the Pinocchio script. It is obviously Ally's turn to read lines as shown by the waving hand on stage. Belinda watches from the center of the front row.
Daisy's hands also rise in response to her lines. The backs of heads, shown from left to right, include Josh, Nana, some gray-haired lady with her hair in a bun, and Belinda.
Following the auditions, we headed to Wild River Pizza to celebrate the December birthdays of Daisy and Ally. A bunch of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins (mostly, by not totally, with the last name "Moffit") joined in the celebration.
Both girls open gifts as Neo helps pass them out.
Daisy shows a gift while Grandpa Jerry looks on.
Grandma Barbara helps Ally open a gift.
Both girls combine their lung capacity to blow out twenty-two candles.
Those pictured above decided to burn off some pizza and birthday cake calories by hiking through the woods near Josh and Belinda's home. Where paths existed, we hiked. Where paths did not exist, Josh created them. Belinda, filled with wisdom, chose to stay home.
With nearly a quarter mile remaining to complete the hike, Neo reached a point where he could hike no longer. But I could. So, we returned home together.
