So I’m back from Utah and full of all kinds of delicious stories, as well as a pretty wicked back-of-the-knee sunburn from falling asleep on a BYU lawn. In that last respect, it’s almost as if I’d never left.
This is me and my smallest cousin. After hours of scootering at the playground she told me a secret:
H: Guess what!
PP: What?
H: My sister says girls are way worse than boys.
PP: Oh, REALLY? At what? (Keeping temper admirably in the presence of 8-y-o)
H: I don’t know. They’re just worse.
Then followed a ten-minute conversation in which I tried to goad her into saying that boys and girls are the same, but I think my attempt to create a budding feminist failed.
At any rate, she beat me and the two neighbor boys on the jungle gym at monkey bars, so in my book she’s better than everyone.

Not sure whether to laugh or make some seriousish pensive face…at the computer screen?
Yeup.

Amen to the first comment! Goodness dear! First thing I noticed about this post is how beautiful you are.
And have I met that cousin before? Cause she looks dang familiar!
And, you were in Utah?! Can you plan to be there the end of May by any chance? :) Probably not, but hey, its worth a shot! :)
Glad you are back from your trip!
{peregrine: If you guys are always going to be this nice when I post pictures of myself, I should do it more often! Mmmm, flattery :) And sadly, I won’t be in Utah again until the end of June.}

Posts like this make me think we did something right along the way.
Sorry about the sunburn though–I guess some lessons have to be learned (and re-learned) the hard way.
Can’t wait to see you next week. Be prepared for a very different-looking house.
{peregrine says: More than a few things ;) Except the part about remembering the dangers of UV rays.}
