Ah, the rose bowl! That's one of my old haunting grounds. I hope the Mini Cooper was as delightful as it is in my mind. If it's not, mum's the word. Driving one is a bucket item for me.

what fabulous firsts, and no doubt it was so wonderful to read the firsts from the kids. Your firsts are awesome, and I'm jealous of your zip lining- I so want to try that!

Ooh! That is a smart idea. I'll try to remember this and get my girls to do this. Thanks for sharing.

What a sweet idea! I just love it...I'll have to remember that for next year.. :)
