"Here We Come, Dorothy!"

There were a lot more Dorothys than she expected.

"Be gentle with Dorothy."

"Take Dar-see out?"
"No, Dorothy needs her water!"

"And then we walked inside, and we had to find Dorothy out of a million fish. And then we put her in a bag and the guy wrote on it with a marker. And Uncle, guess what! We saw blue and green birds. And then I held Dorothy and shook her bag out of excitement! Then Poppy and Bryce put her in her house! And then I fed Dorothy and she ate it!"

What a cute way of letting us "join" you in your trip to pick up Dorothy!
A perfect birthday gift from you to Grace.
Love the shot of her "telling her story to Uncle".
Thanks!

It was a very loooooooooong wait for all of us back at the house for the "Grand Entrance" of Dorothy!!! I had to hogtie the boys at Steve and Heather's house so that the trip to the pet store could just be Aunt April and Grace's adventure!!! ha ha We loved the whole process - the opening of the fish tank present, watching Poppy and Dave Newman "preparing" the tank with all the proper calibrations and chemicals, watching Grace bringing Dorothy inside, putting her in the fishtank and then her facial expressions . . . PRICELESS!!! Glad we were there to experience it!

Love
Aunt Becki
