Ellu & Kanah

  "I live for moments like these." I love these moments where we can spend simple and quality time with just us and the kids.

I really wanted to take the kids out since Ellu had been at home with a cold for the past week and wasn't able to go to school, and with the pandemic, we haven't gone anywhere else for that matter. So, it was a nice and pretty sunny day, so I said ok, lets just drive and see where we end up. We ended leaving from my parents' house and making a left turn on river road.
