We had a wonderful (but quick!) trip to Orange County to visit Alison's uncle Conrad, along with her cousin Allyn Hartstein and Allyn's mom Marsha. Maddie was a real trooper, despite a rough time change and two long flights... Her main memory of this trip is going to be about bees - specifically, the plastic garden toy that she saw there, and the bees we found in the countryside. Every time she sees these pictures, she just keeps saying "Bee! Bee!".
But I'm sure that she liked seeing uncle Conrad as well...
