did anyone else notice how color coordinated everyone was? like did they plan that?

Totally planned. Next year we're going with red gingham.

I think we should make it an annual event. We have room for camper parking if anyone is so inclined. Seriously.

(Of course we'll have to do the standard background check on you. Just because we lucked out this year doesn't guarantee we'll always miss the catfishers. )

I did not even tell DB I was going. He would have locked me up and actually shocked DD's husband did not have a fit. lol
