The World of Mackay

We recently made the trek to Graeagle to help celebrate my step-dad Ron's 75th birthday. Mackay, who now sings 'Happy Birthday Papa Ron' anytime the word 'birthday' is mentioned, got to get up close and personal with one of her favorite machines -- a motorcycle! We could hardly get her off of it.

Bill and I are toasting marshmallows (Mackay's favorite treat) in our backyard fireplace. As usual, she is already wanting 'nother one' when she's barely taken a bite of her first. Bill explains, logically, that she can have another as soon as she's done with the one she has. Mackay hears this, pulls her marshmallow out of her mouth, looks around surreptitiously, and shoves it under her leg. Then she looks at us and says 'all done!' Who knew kids learn guile so early?
