This was SO fun! I had a great time remembering events from my life, and learning about all the extraordinary and interesting things from others!
Wow I didn't even get half of them. What a fun activity. Thanks Mom.
I pretty much new only a few besides the ones about me! What a great way to share impressive skills and fun facts about people I love!
I even knew some of these!
