Oh man, yesss. And Johnny makes a kite with her too, since her kite was essentially just a diamond-shaped piece of paper stapled to some string. Lila was really disappointed that it didn't fly. She ran really fast, okay?
Also yyyy to the luggage. Because Lila doesn't pack light, that is true. On the other hand, her definition of "packing" isn't the same as her daddy's yet. Johnny packs outfits. He tries to visualise and cover every eventuality. He's become less neurotic about it over the years, but this is his packing philosophy.
Lila's packing philosophy, on the other hand, consists of "what if there's a volcano and a flood and we have to raft down the river and live in a forest and we'll need some things forever and also I'll miss them". Whenever she goes on an overnight trip, she brings a heart-shaped plastic case full of glitter, her five favourite books, her teddy bear, and a giant paper clip. Johnny decides not to argue after a little while.
