Summer Vacation Part 2

Saturday - June 25th:
Old Disney Movies
On Halloween, my dad would show his old Disney movies from his movie project on the front window for all the trick-or-treaters to see. He hasn't done it for years. Our kids didn't even know he had these movies, so we decided to create our own backyard drive in.
It was a lot of work for Dad but SO much fun for the rest of us.
What's a family party without a good pout???

Monday - June 27th:
Peter Breinholt & David Tolk
