Date with Aunt LaLa & Honest Foods


My niece “Lil’ M” just turned 7 this November.

She’s sweet, hilarious and very smart. I surprised her last Friday and picked her up from school for a Date with Aunt LaLa. :)

We went to Market Street. I had to parallel park, which I know how to do, it just takes me a couple tries. Well my 7 year old nice in all her wit said “LaLa, what ARE you doing? Everyones looking at us, this is embarrassing”. I replied “Ma no one is looking at us, don’t worry I got this. ” M’s reply “Ohhh embarrrrassssing”. She’s 7. Embarrassed? I think not. Silly girl. :)

After the parking drama, we went off to Starbucks {of course}….

I wish we had more time to actually go into the museum, we only got to see the outside memorial site. The stillness and quietness at the site was amazing.

Then it was Basketball time!!
