The Edge of the World

The Pacific Ocean from the beach at Lincoln City, Oregon

Boredom + Markers = Fun!

My Foot Buddies and I are going on vacation….again!

A Sweet Ride

This is a picture of Badger driving an incredibly cute but unbalanced woman around in a pretend bus at the Minnesota Children’s Museum.
