Chillin’ at the Whittakers
I wish I could add some pics but I don’t have the cable that connects my camera to the computer. I will show tons when we get home. Today we are just hanging at Carlos and Heather’s. We are watching the “Planet Earth” DVDs from Discovery that aired about a year ago. It is awesome!! [...]
