    Hi Lauren 👋 I'm a sucker for Mexican food, so I would get the tacos 🌮 that dough Bouey for sure! Kettle corn, cotton candy, and a big hug to your sweet Violet! She's so cute 😊
    Also, the freeze-dried candy would be my desert for later. I would have thought there would have been more crab 🦀 but lots to eat anyway. Your view from your deck is priceless! WOW!!!
    Awesome trip, and glad you enjoyed it with mom, dad, and Violet.

    Glad you had that time with your parents. The sea glass was just beautiful. I'd never thought of creating something like that.
    I'd be there for the crab and would have expected far more than what you received.
    Despite caught there, it's expensive....
    Maybe they didn't prefer to throw profits away.
    Hope your weekend is special and thanks for sharing 🌻🦋

If I time it right, we can fly from Anchorage to Kodiak for this festival, which looks super fun. And being from Nashville, TN, this gal hasn't had a lot of crab (but I LOVE it!). Teresa

      Why is your infant only screaming in videos in a ln extreme high pitch as you creepily & casually ignore? Too many kids so you start to use inhumane child neglect strategies from LDS? Utah child abuse cases are now being revealed daily. Please be much more authentically responsive to Violet, even if interrupts your $ making videos.
