Happy birthday to Cameron!! He had a great day – lots of balloons and lights and gifts and a trip to the zoo. Then a visit to his varied grandparents! They stopped at my place after the zoo – I…

Today was a pretty big School Tour (Grandview Elementary) at Hanna’s Town. There were over 140 kids. That meant the sessions were pretty large. I had the tin punch station, and until 12:30pm there was no other staff at my…
