Aurora’s favorite hikes are Silver Lake Mountain and Owl’s Head Peak, and she is a big fan of dancing in the Nutcracker every year. Griffin’s favorite activity is anything related to basketball. Isaac loves knocking over anything upright, and he’s recently developed an impressive taste for mashed potatoes and gravy.
