Millie and the brilliant idea of taking down the baby pool...

I love America, and I love my awesome and amazing and supportive family.  My mom had all the Thompsons, Readers, and Sorensens over for a bbq and tons of fun.  We counted 105 people.  She is the best party planner ever and I hope to some day hone in her skills.  I am incredibly lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life and be born in the greatest nation on the earth.
