    Between the fig story, the Disney Princess soundtrack and the comment “And everybody knows that females are the rulers of the Earth”, this episode had me rolling in laughter and completely charmed. 😂❤tx

    Jack...A suggestion for you that when your boys reach the age of 7, 8, or 9 you let them experience living through Fall, winter, Spring, and the beautiful Summers in Northern Michigan for a rememberable lifetime of memories!!!
