Our last road trip of the summer was a trip to see our friends Cliff & Mary. While the Cliff & Mary franchise has always been one of our favorites -- the two new features -- Jack and Maddie -- only added to our delight.
We talked and laughed and shared and parented and trekked and ate and talked and laughed and shared.
Pure magic.
Maddie on the Capitol Steps. We bussed down to the capitol, the library and a great Mexican feast.
Waiting at the bus stop. Mary busses to work every day. Cliff & Mary always inspire us to simplify and clarify our lives. From transportation - to Mary's thoughtful & incisive clarity of direction - to Cliff's documentary Immaterial John (some of you have seen it) -- to two of his new documentaries that we got to watch -- about interfaith and interracial dialogue and cooperation.
Jack and Addison at the Zoo. Despite their angelic qualities, the boys were masterful at mixing things up a bit together.
Jaelyn at the Zoo. Her whole weekend was animal-loving: capturing butterflies and moths, visiting the zoo, watching Spongebob. (Sponges are animals, right?)
While Cliff & I spent hours sitting together talking -- we were rarely as...close...as we were when we visited the children's department of the Nashville Public Library (which is *amazing* BTW!)
