McTeacher

One of my dearest friends is Becca.  We've been friends for 10 years.  On one hand I cannot believe it's been 10 years already.  It seems like just yesterday we graduated college and began our first real-life job.  On the other hand I can't believe it's only been 10 years.  She's someone I feel like I've known my whole life.  Her friendship is something I count as a blessing that I totally don't deserve.  She's the absolute best.

She's also the mother of Tucker, the dog that has won over Zoe's heart.  Aunt Becca and Uncle Josh are two of Zoe's favorite people.  When we hang out together it means she gets some much needed love from her favorite 4-legged friend. 

Not to mention it puts off the need for a puppy.

When Aunt Becca informed us that Uncle Josh was going to be serving up french fries at a local McDonalds, we jumped at the chance to go see him.  The McDonalds in Deer Park hosted McTeacher night.  Part of the proceeds from that night's sales would go back to the Deer Park school where Uncle Josh works.

We loaded in Aunt Becca's car and headed up to McD's for some ice cream.

I'll tell you what, go to a McD's on a McTeacher night and your child will feel like the Belle of the Ronald McDonald ball.  When we walked in she got a star sticker for her hand and a Ronald McDonald crown.  I'm pretty sure I saw her doing her princess wave to all the other kids who were there.

We ordered our ice cream and princess-waved to Uncle Josh who was at the fry machine in deep conversation with the actual McDonald's employee.  We're pretty sure he was learning all about oils, best cooking heat and the best wrist technique for shaking the extra grease off.  Uncle Josh is a constant learner like that.

Fortunately he did stop a moment from all the learning to pose in his apron.


Zoe took a moment from her ice cream to pose.  This is her official Princess Ronald McDonald photo.


Thanks Uncle Josh for working the industrial fry daddy for us.  We enjoyed visiting with you.
