date with sydney

i take my 7 year old cousin out about once a month to do something fun. it gives me something to surprise her with (i love surprises) and we started to make a tradition out of it. the first time i took her to this huge field at the end of summer when it was dark out and we watched fire flies (so cool!). other surprises have included getting our nails done and a goodwill/olive garden date. this past week was a late night friendly's stop. it was fun. she gets so anxious to find out where we are going.

this is right before we went. she is quite comical. i tried it after i put down the camera but it hurt really bad.
