Highlights of my summer in numerous parts: part one.

One of my best friends, Michelle, has a little sister named Gracie with whom I am enamored! I'd like to think of her as my namesake, but in reality, she's just my honorary niece - which earns me the honorary title of "Auntie Grace." Both Ethan and I love this little gal, who faithful followers may remember from here, or here, or even here.

I started out my summer right - with a quick trip to a small local zoo in the scorching sun with Mich and Gracie. Holla at that!


Gracie could not wait to get on the marry-go-round.

This kid says some funny stuff.

Taking a break from the sun while Gracie played on the largest playground known to mankind.

They see us rollin', they hatin'!

This sweet little girl is Maybelline.
Is it weird that I might want a pet donkey?
