Here's a photo of me with 4 of my nieces. Yea, I added those "shapes" to hide what their bathing suits weren't... I'm weird.
Sarah, Brittney, and Kris are my brother's girls, and Katelyn is my sister's oldest. Katelyn and I were returning from a visit to my parents' and "the girls" were at their mom's so we stopped by for a visit. They are all working now, with boyfriends, and busy, but we took some fun trips when they were younger. Sarah, Kris, and I went on a road trip to Oregon and Washington in the early 90's.... That was fun (well, sorta, 2 weeks in the car with a 7 and 8 year old); I'd get them to stop fighting in the car (kids get so restless while traveling) by bribing them with a hotel that included a pool if they were good. Brittney, Katelyn, and I attempted Half Dome a few years back, but someone (and it wasn't me).... couldn't go farther than Nevada Falls, so we just stopped there and picnic'd. Since then, Brittney had a son, so that has limited her traveling. Katelyn is my new traveling buddy, and when she gets too busy with life, she's got a younger sister!
Katelyn and I are planning a spring trip to Florida to visit our aunt. Although i still need to clear it with my aunt, but I told Katelyn if she saves up half of her airfare, I'll pay the rest and her and I can go for a week of exploring. I've never seen her so eager to earn money!
My top is Vogue DNKY out of print pattern. I love this pattern and top and wear it often. It has a lot of details but it is different and I just may make another winter version.
