She lives within walking distance of the Lake.
We took a walk down to the water and you went for a dip ... clothes and all.
With the temps in the 90s and not a cloud in the sky, we figured you'd be dry before we got back to the house.
Shortly after getting back to the house, people started to leave. Eventually it was us, Aaron and Dianne, and Aunt Theresa.
We opted to grab a bite to eat before hitting the road and Aunt Theresa suggested a local place called the Local Tavern.
"What would you like for her?" asked the waitress.
"Nothing, she won't eat anyway." we responded. "She'll pick at ours."
Pick you did, and we couldn't have been more thrilled.
You started by asking to try an appetizer that was a bacon-wrapped jalapeno pepper stuffed with sausage.
Mom got one for you and we cut it up. You ate nearly the entire thing.
Are you feeling okay?
Next came dinner, we both got a side of fries thinking that would be all you'd eat.
You spotted Aunt Theresa's wings and asked for one. She gave you a drum stick ... luckily they arent spun in sauce here and you dipped it in ranch and took a bite.
Did that for real just happen?
After a few bites mom had to strip the meat from the bone for you, but you ate the whole thing and asked for more.
We had to laugh because mom offered you a bite of her burger, to which you wanted nothing more than to see her eat it.
When she put the final bite in her mouth it was a melt down. You stated over and over between the tears that you wanted to try it.
Okay, a McDonald's run for a burger it is.
We stopped and got a cheeseburger, ketchup only, and a small order of nuggs as backup.
After eating about a third of the burger you handed it to mom for safe keeping saying "I'll finish it tomorrow" and curled up with purple blanket for the remainder of the hours and a half drive home.
We have our fingers crossed that this is the start of an expanded palate for you!
