A fun day with Ratcliff Cousins

This day began with a little craziness.   It was the Saturday after the AHG lock-in, and Belle and Mom came home early for a quick shower then off to the McWane to meet up with Emily and the girls.  Ruby stayed with the AHG girls because she wanted to see the bunny, which ended up being one of her favorite things to do.   But she ended up getting home about 25 minutes after Magan had already left.   I was working on the computer, probably with these blogs from 2023, and I could tell she was a little sad she did not get to go to McWane.   I had nothing going on that day, so I asked her if she wanted to go.   She sadly told me that she had told Mom that she wanted to stay at AHG, and she knew that her decision was going to make her miss other things.   I told her that is true, and I am glad you got to hang out with the bunny...but I don't have anything going on right now, and we are not that far behind your mom and sister.   I can get you there probably before they even get into the museum.   To see that cute little smile widen and eyes get big....well, it was worth the drive any day.   Altho Davis told me later this would have never worked for him.   

And we did make it to the McWane before everyone had gone into the museum.   I actually parked next to the lobby and got to go in and give the little girls a big hug from Uncle Scott before snapping this first picture and leaving.   There was lots of fun on this day, but I was only given the highlights...Eloisa was super excited everywhere and Belle said you had to watch her close or she would speed off to the next area.   There are so many videos magan took and watched and watched of CiCi.   And they all laughed with CiCi as she started getting delirious when she was sleepy.   I heard Eloisa got super wet in the Itty Bitty City, and Ruby was so happy to get in here, because you can't go in without someone younger in age.   And the cutest story was when Eloisa saw the stingrays at the McWane basement, and looked up with big eyes at Aunt Magy to say "Sting Ray...thats what Moana's grandmother turned into". 

On the way home, the girls stopped by Soma, where they always laugh because I went here once to get magan some pajamas, and the girls did not approve because there are scantily clad women pictures all over in this store.   Well on this day, it was even worse.   The dressing rooms were full because it was a pretty busy day, and magan looked over to see an older lady completely undressing to try on a new bra...and doing this just in the corner of the store.   Magan quickly did the eye point to Ruby and Belle, and they all were still laughing about this later when telling me the story.   As they left the store, Ruby told mom "DAD can NOT come back to this store".   Hahahaha

And one more that I was told through a lot of laughter when they got home.  Magan and Belle came into the garage and found that they were locked out from the inside.   About the time Magan realized it was locked, she heard a loud muffled poot that she thought had come from upstairs.   She could not believe a poot could be that loud from upstairs, and then could not believe when she even smelled the horrendous smell through the ceiling of the garage.   About this time, belle starting giggling at mom who was getting mad because I was not coming to the door because apparently, I was busy farting directly onto the living room floor.   Finally realizing the source of the sound and smell, and the door being opened, Magan ran upstairs away from Belle.
