The Basket is not Just for Laundry Anymore

Today we are celebrating, life, love and family with a "Waggie Ride"
in Tuesday's honor.



We actually don't own a wagon and its a little too cold to go for a ride.
We tried a sled but that failed miserably.
So I give you the next best thing...

Laundry Basket Rides!

Hi. I'm a family friend of the Whitts, and am putting a video scrapbook together so they can see all the wagie rides and balloon releases. If you don't mind, I would LOVE to add the laundry basket ride pics. What a cute idea!
