"Hey! You look like us!"

Almost all the girls on the Dysart side of the family look like they came out of the same Grandma Keen cookie cutter.

I was just talking to Melanie about all the cousins' business websites. I asked her if she'd ever met Candace and Lynda and she said, "A long time ago." Then she told me this story:

"Ernie and I were going out to Clackamas River, and he was going to fish and I was going to go swimming. We were hungry, so we pulled into the McDonald's right by the bridge before you go over the Clackamas River. We went through the drive-through, and when we pulled up to the girl at the window, I looked at her and said, 'Hey! You look like us!'

"She agreed, and somehow we figured out we were cousins. I think I asked her what her name was because she looked so much like us, it was weird. Then we all laughed because we thought it was funny, because that's what everyone in our family does. 'Hey! Someone from our family! Hahahahahaahha!'"

She can't remember if it was Becky or Karen Dysart, but it was the McDonald's that Becky managed and Uncle Doug and Karen worked at. "It's pretty bad that I don't remember."

Our cute little exception is Kiley, who is beautiful like her mother and resembles BC quite a bit too.

UPDATE: Candace just started a new picture blog - you can see even more people who look like us. Dena also started a blog. Yay for the cousins getting sucked in!
