Cannonball contest, you know I’m in for that one.
As kids we had epic whiffle ball games! The 4th is a great day to enjoy a game!!
Happy 4th Tyler! It's just Thursday where I live. I just enjoyed a musical my daughter and her friends thought up on the spot though. They did tell me to turn off my phone, but I had to take some pictures for the moms.
No more firework videos. I am here for the homemade ice cream.
I’ve been teaching my little dude to play wiffle ball. One of my favorite things!
Hamilton Songs?
All the people holding their phones at every dang event. The memory and experience live will be so much greater than the video on your phone.
Happy 4th, Tyler! Thanks for the ideas!
Seriously thought. What do people do with all of those fireworks videos?!? ??
