We were able to drive back into downtown on Saturday to meet up with some special folks. Aunt Mickey and her gang. Now Aunt Mickey is my Aunt so really, a Great Aunt to the kids. She is my mom's youngest sister. Yes, she's the youngest out of 9 kids. She is spunky and fun and just has a way about her with kids. She comes as a package deal with her daughter, my cousin, Faith and her grand daughter Ayannah. She also has her driver and husband, Uncle Herm.
I haven't had the chance to be out and about with Aunt Mick since they all came to visit Leslie and I in New York in 2001, two weeks before 9/11. Faith was still in a stroller then and now she is all grown up and turning into a lovely young lady.
Ev and Liam had a BLAST. Liam was purely exhausted that evening. He ran about that place like a wild man, he would bend at the waist and point and holler about some new thing and then he would dash right off. Ev was in Heaven hanging out with Faith. Liam was spoiled rotten by Aunt Mickey. As we were driving home Evelyn said, " That Aunt Mickey she sure is generous with her time and her money". And I had to agree, it's the simple truth.
