Tori @ your lady of the earth tagged me in "6th folder, 6th photo. Basically,"Open the 6th picture folder on your computer, open the 6th photo and blog it. Write something about it. Then tag 6 more people to do the same."

Ok I have to admit...I am on my laptop and the 6th folder was of Tori's senior year....her photos of her friends at the lake. So I scrolled down and found photos of us in Destin last summer. The 6th one was this one of Meg, John & Tori.
They are acting like goof balls as usual. We had so much fun that week in Florida. We stayed in a house instead of a condo. It was nice to have the space and privacy....but we didn't have access to a pool. The jelly fish were so bad that week and we couldn't swim in the ocean. So we acted like we were staying in one of the condos and snuck into the pool. Meg and I even acted stupid and told these kids we forgot the code to the gate to get in, they were like it's 65041. Meg said, Mom, duh...you kept saying it was 65241. hahaha we laughed about that all week. We used that code and laid out by that pool all week.


So as usual I don't follow rules....most of you know this by now. So I tag all of you and give these awards to all of you. Don't hate me 'cause I don't follow rules. Love me for who I am! :)
