  35. some sort of indoor crafting
  36. any method of relaxation
(these are bulleted with flowers once i publish, but as i type they are numbers- weird)
here's staying up to 11:30---kinda like staying up all night #26
Here's number 36- any method of relaxation!
here's an extremely happy guy on a fire truck during a parade- kinda like #1 - ice cream truck, do i get credit for it? or maybe number 14- he was so happy it was like he was floating- maybe double credit?
#28- a picnic- the Porcos had an awesome time at a picnic that Famous Dave's catered...this is Wilbur- Famous Dave's mascot.
maybe this for #10--- this crazy lady in the pic- is like a fizzy, fruity drink- most times i am with her, i belly laugh. when i drink fizzy fruity drinks i belly laugh too. credit?
and this is #27- a road trip- we went to Crystal Cave and it was an experience. if anyone wants to see any pictures, Katie took 172. her Dad asked her to create a photo journal of the day and I swear she channeled a stereotypical tourist. it was hysterical.

Aim, you are awesome. I absolutely ADORE you! Love your photos. I was going to ask how you did the super cool flowers but I guess that was just a bit of Aimee charm. :)
