A Weekend Full of Spectating and Play

Over the weekend the Murphy family went down to Los Angeles to visit friends before COVID restrictions get too serious. Usually this is hard for families to commit too, but not for us because we have very good friends that live in LA so we get to visit them. We stay at our friends, the Garrets, nice house and invite our other friends the Goodes, Von Hemerts and Pistones over usually. Although, this time we all got together at the Von Hemert’s house.

Gavin is one of the youngest kids in the group, but everyone loves him and wants to be around him all the time. At the Von Hemerts, Gavin stayed in in their pool all day long. He got to play pool basketball, but not without getting crushed by his best bud Roane Goode. After an exhausting day in the Von Hemert’s pool, Gavin comes out for a feast. But being the picky kid he is, Gavin only ate a hot dog and some chicken. Later Gavin got to meet one of the four Von Hemert turtles that freely roam around their house. Gavin had never seen anything like this and was intrigued. He also got to meet their bearded dragon and hold it.  

However, the fun was over and the next day Gavin had to watch sister, Ally, at her dance performance in Disneyland. Gavin finds this very boring and the worst way to spend his time. He likes to sit the furthest away from everyone  with just him and his ipad. Just as my mom says “Gavin Murphy, table for one”. People like it though because when it gets quiet while someone is performing, you can hear Gavin’s game and it makes them laugh. Gavin is so oblivious of what happened during the performance that he asks if did well or not and says she did great even though he didn’t look up once to see what was going on.

After a long car ride home filled with traffic, naps and ipad games Gavin is pleased to be at home once again. He greets his toys and plays with them for the rest of the night while using his out of this world imagination. All in all, Gavin had a great weekend. He hopes you did too!
