That was interesting!

My cousin Alice lives in Utah. I am sure I have said that before. She came to Wisconsin for Fourth of July and was staying here for a couple of weeks. She is a teacher and gets summers off. For the Fourth we got to see her whole family. Her husband, their little boy Ellis and her. Also funny her son is named Ellis and her name is Alice. She told us that she didn’t get it till he turned one and went to the doctor’s office that her name and her son’s name sound the same. That made me laugh when she told us that. How can you not get it for that long! Ha!

When Alice comes to Wisconsin I try to have lunch with her. I only get to see her maybe a couple times a year. I love my cousin Alice because she is much like me. This time it was pretty strange and funny at the same time. Alice’s parents live about forty five minutes away from us. Good thing driving there is pretty.

Here is what it looks like driving over there:

We agreed to meet at a Mexican restaurant and Jeff and I have never been to that one before. We drive over there and get there first. The place isn’t as big as we thought. We get in there and be seated. The man who was working kept staring at us and asking us if we wanted to order. I think he was being impolite. After about twenty minutes of waiting my cousin calls and says she totally forgot. Also that her mom took the car with the car seat in it. She felt so bad!

We agreed to come over to her parent’s house and hang for a bit. When the man came over we just told him that we would pay for our drinks. He was not very happy and gave us attitude. Hey wasn’t our fault that my cousin forgot. We are never going there again.

When we got to her parent’s house all she could do was apologized. I know she felt bad and I forgave her. But first we had to give her shit about it. Ha! But it was fine. We talked and Ellis really likes me. He is two and he can’t say my name yet. I know my name is hard for kids to say. Funny! But he wanted to show me everything and he was showing me his dance moves. He was being really silly. He is such a happy kid!

In fact I only see Ellis a couple of times a year obviously but he takes to me more than my niece and nephews. That is sort of sad to think about. We always have a lot fun together though.

We went to a restaurant which made me sick later. It wasn’t very good food and I think I got food poisoning from their meat. It was a rough night for me.

Anyways we always have something to talk about with Alice. And of course we can’t forget the very cute Ellis.
