The April Fool's part! I can't even imagine how deliriously happy those men must have been to see that instead of packing papers! :)<BR/><BR/>The photos of the kids wearing their incredible backpacks is wonderful! Your photos are always so inspiring!<BR/><BR/>I have a small window of time this morning where my computer is working on real time and not lagging so I'm trying to get a post together. Don't hold your breath! <BR/><BR/>Have a safe, happy, beautiful day.
