Aunt Maggie Is Coming!
"Guess who called today to say she is due for a visit?" Adam's mom squealed.Before Adam or his dad had time to guess, Adam's mom answered her own question."My sister! Aunt Maggie is coming this weekend!"
"Whooo-hooo!" Adam chanted, waving his arms over his head.
"Well, I can see you're terribly upset over this news," Dad chuckled, serving himself salad.
That evening, the Wiles family laughed up a storm sharing Aunt Maggie stories.
"Remember last year when Aunt Maggie came into my second-grade classand helped us bake a three-foot high volcano cake - that erupted?" Adam recalled.
"Or the time she got all of us to do that ridiculous cheer at your soccer game?" added Dad.
There was one thing that the Wiles family knew for sure - Aunt Maggie was the most fun person they knew.
Summon Your Building Partner!
When Aunt Maggie arrived on Friday,she eagerly unpacked toys from her recent trip to Russia and her latest picture book that she wrote and illustrated.Then she cupped her hands to her mouth and announced, "It's fort time - summon your building partner!"
"Yahooo!" roared Adam, running to call Dario, who lived next door.
An hour later, Aunt Maggie and the boys built a pillow, cushion, and blanket fort spanning two rooms."We said we'd break last year's fort record - and we did!" Dario proudly announced.
A Day of Painting and Baking
The next morning, Adam made his Saturday morning specialty - buckwheat pancakes with bananas.
After breakfast, Dario came over for a day of painting and baking.Aunt Maggie taught the boys a fancy brush stroke for making realistic-looking clouds.
After lunch, the trio baked a racetrack cake - topped with race cars from Adam's car collection!
"Your aunt is so cool," Dario told Adam before heading home for dinner.
Aunt Maggie's Travel Stories
After dinner at Adam's house, the family gathered to hear Aunt Maggie's travel stories.The family room was set up like a theater, with Aunt Maggie seated in a chair facing her audience.Everyone's eyes were glued to Aunt Maggie as she spoke,and everyone's hands were busy popping grapes in their mouths.
"Can I get anyone more grapes?" Adam's mom asked between stories.
"No, thank you," said Aunt Maggie. "But do you have any chips?" "Not today," Mom replied.
"Well, you know me," said Aunt Maggie, pulling a bag of chips from her tote."I never leave home without my two favorite foods, chocolate and chips!"
Then she told of an ice sculpture festival where she saw an ice lion as tall as the ceiling.And an ice castle as big as the house!
