When your velcro doesn't work - you can always just duct tape your kids shows on their feet for the entire day of camp. Rachel actually came up with the idea.

Got to have supper with my bestest friend Dana at Olive Garden this week. We came up a million dollar idea of floss in your hair rather than feathers in your hair. Great idea since corn cob eatting season is right around the corner. Love ya Danaman.
