ReplyDeleteYay, my first comment! Keep 'em coming! I am so excited about summer! Wooo hoooo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing my water wall! Have a great summer, it looks like lots of fun things planned.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...root beer floats! I wished I lived closer because I would come get you all right now and we'd go to Woody's Root Beer Stand. It was my favorite place when I lived in Canton. Right by a new park too! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Woody's, it sounds amazing! We'll have to do it the next time that you're in town :)
