Good Wine, Friends and Family + a kickass camera

Fabulous weekend! I was able to use my new camera quite a bit - and I'm totally in love. I can't wait for surfing or mexico! It shall be grand.

My cousin and her daughter Karalee came into town on Saturday for a suprise visit. I use the cousin title loosely, as my parents raised her... so she's more like a sister. Anyways, I got to spend time with, who usually is flanked by a twin and older brother - so we got some quality girl time when I took her shopping. She doesn't understand the concept of shopping though, I kept hearing 'but I have enough tank tops/shoes/skirts at home!!' WHAT? Karalee!! We have grandma's credit card, that's NOT the right attitude!!! Needless to say, 30 outfits later in a Gap kids changeroom and she started to get the hang of it!
I was hoping lululemon did a kids line so I could make her a mini me.... but I did a pretty good job none the less!

Anyways, I believe a picture is worth a thousand words... so I present to you my essay.

Life is pretty sweet when you grow up with this as your back yard
