Auntie Claire

A few weeks ago my Aunt Claire flew all the way from Chicago on an airplane to come see me.

WE HAD THE BEST WEEKEND!

I went on my first hike.  Okay maybe I slept through my first hike.  But I know Aunt Claire would have woken me up if we ran into any celebrities.  That's what Runyon Canyon's for, no?

We did spot Aubrey Plaza from 'Parks & Rec' at The Grove so Aunt Claire got her celeb fix.  We also hit an art walk in Brentwood and had brunch at the Country Market, where we rubbed elbows with movie producer Lawrence Bender and saw the coolest thing imaginable...a parking lot petting zoo with pony rides!

Aunt Claire taught me a bunch of cool new songs, too.  Are you guys familiar with 'Farmer and the Dell'?  I also got a gymnastics workout thanks to an old jump-roping song from when she was little.

And like any good Hinderer sister she got me sleeping like a baby (in my crib!), a seemingly routine scenario which continues to elude my parents.

I can't wait to see her again and meet my Uncle Derek and Cousin Penelope in just a few weeks!
