Auntie M, Auntie M!!!

My sister, Mandy was able to come spend some time with us for the past week and a half! We had such a blast visiting with her. We went to Orange County for the weekend and met up with my dad and step mom and hit the swap meet and Laguna Beach with them. Then we hit the SD Wild Animal Park, where Mandy even got to be a part of one of the animal shows (and got a kiss from a camel!!). We went up to visit dad and Nancy in Palm Springs at their new place for a couple of days and hung out at their pool, went shopping, stuffed ourselves eating out and took a day trip to hike around Joshua Tree National Park. While she was here, she even got to attend a famous nickel auction! Mark had been in Florida for most of her trip, but then he got to join in on the fun and go to Balboa park and Old Town with us. Before the airport, we got to spend a little time at Seaport Village--and even rode the carousel! We had such a fabulous visit with her, and even though she only left yesterday, we miss her already! We love you Auntie M!!!
