A Visit With Great Auntie Doris

Well let the fun times begin! Or maybe I should say let the laughs begin!! A few weeks ago we were very honored by a visit from my aunt Doris - d's great auntie D. Doris (as I never really did call her aunt) is only 8 years older and was always more like a big sister to me than an aunt. When I was growing up she'd come out every summer. We had a lot of fun together and I always looked forward to her visits. So now that my cousins are both away at college, Doris decided to come out from Philly for her Spring break and get some lil d time. We only had her for a very short week and boy did it pass by quickly! She and Dylan had the best time together, they played and played and played some more. Doris bought Dylan a play ice cream set which lil d hasn't stopped carrying around - now everyone that walks in the house gets an ice cream cone (a true McBride at heart). It was really great having you out Doris ~ please come back anytime!!!!! We love you!!!!!

A beautiful day out in the garden.

Dylan loved feeding Doris.

Pike Place Market - Dylan LOVES people watching. She waved and greeted everyone that walked by.

A girls lunch at Etta's.

Dylan's favorite - playing in the garden.

And watering plants.

AND her new ice cream set. Cones for everyone!

A visit from Nan (Anne).

No time to stop and eat - so busy, busy, busy.... eat and run.

Everywhere we go Dylan makes friends. One day we met Matt at his office and all walked to Fremont for lunch. Doris had never had Thai so we headed over to Jai Thai - within 3 minutes Dylan had all the ladies from the kitchen singing, laughing, and playing with her. In about 4 she had several other staff members gathered around. Very comical. And this isn't the first time this has happened.

For Auntie Doris's last night we went down to La Rustica, our favorite Italian restaurant down on Beach drive. While waiting for our table we went across the street to a little beach for a few last photo opts. Oh and by the way my aunt really is that short - just kidding!

Me and my girl.

Oh what we will do for a good laugh.
