How To Be the Favorite Aunt

If you want to be the favorite aunt (like I obviously am), here's a few tips:


You should take your charges to the splash pad and then for ice cream.


You should go on a picnic at the river park with cousin Porter and Grandpa Jack.
You might try dinner with Grandma Ellie at the Spaghetti Factory.



Favorite aunts don't care about manners.


Favorite aunts have a pass to Kangaroo Zoo.



I also suggest a short hike to a local waterfall.






Favorite aunts pack in treats even though the round trip is a single mile.

Favorite aunts also pretend they don't hear any whining.


Turn over the reins to someone with serious "favorite" experience.


Favorite aunts know where the best ribs in town are.


Try saying, "More ice cream? Why not?"


Favorite aunts know the aquarium is always fun.




Favorite aunts aren't afraid of a little friendly competition...

...from favorite uncles...



...or from more favorite aunts. I hope there can be more than one favorite...

...otherwise I may have been knocked off my pedestal.

Looks like a lot of fun. I saw that pic of Jack and I thought he reminded me of Grandpa Preston....is my memory fuzzy or is that true? Crazy. I just had a flashback of G. Preston standing behind the beverage bar in their house when I saw that pic.
