July 20--Supersize me!

I suppose it was inevitable--our first trip to "Mickey D's." Althea is an American after all (we now have her United States Passport to prove with with ease to all and sundry). Soon she will even have that frightenly indispensable thing we are all allegedly supposed to keep secret that is about as secret as your eye color--a Social Security number.
Anyway, here is the cutie pie and her Baba outside of "Mac & Don's Supper Club."

That worried look on her face must be because of the driver's ed car, 'cause she loved the food at McDonald's. She ate like eatin' was about to be outlawed! She took down a substantive amount of Mama's chicken selects, many fries, a good bit from Baba's quarter with cheese, AND a good portion of a yogurt parfait.
"They put in a secret ingredient that makes you crave it fortnightly!" (Bonus points to anyone with the movie reference.) Here she is chowing down with Mama:

Yes, yes, I wipe off the table with an antibacterial wipe before she eats from it--stop your fussing. This kid is from China! She laughs at our puny American germs!
Our sudden plan to induct her into another crucial piece of Americana was a serendipitous meeting with Peggy Holte from church and her three grandkids. We were all at the park watching the children's theatre program and they invited us to join them at lunch. Ella, Evan and Ian are all really fun--Althea enjoyed their antics. She usually does enjoy people--especially kids and silly adults like her parents. Here is a picture of us with Ella and Evan.


I appear to be somewhat crazed--put it down to the above mentioned secret additive.
