Four generations on Little Birch
It’s Throwback Thursday, and while this isn’t throwin’ it back very far, let me share one of the highlights of our trip to Minnesota last summer: the annual Ward Springs Fourth of July Parade. This year, for the first time, we were IN the parade, instead of on the sidelines.
The people and places in these photos are among my very favorite, and they make my heart swell. Thanks, Mom and Gramma and Grampa Great, for another trip I’ll never forget. I love you!

Olivia: “No I don’t. I mean my things are better than Ava’s.”
