makingflagsJennifer of jenslittlethings.com invited us out to her place to re-enact an Oklahoma Land Run!

Yes, I am sure your place is a lot cooler since it is a whole 10 feet away.

So cute!

It was a great day!

I have the red neck to prove it!

Or maybe that was because I was too lazy to get the sunscreen out of my vehicle.
