Oh kind of like that song?
Photobucket
What song Sis?

The one they always sing before the Tigers play.
Photobucket
The Star-Spangled banner Sis?
IMG_8986
Yuppers.
 Photobucket
Do you know who wrote that?
 IMG_8971
Some guy named Francis, isn't that a girls name?
 Photobucket
Sis, Francis Scott Keys wrote it, Francis was a boys name back then.  Oh by the way did you know that we are related to him.
 Photobucket
WHAT?

Sis, we are related to Francis Scott Keys, he is a distant cousin on daddy's side.

That is SO cool!

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
Photobucket
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
IMG_9107
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
Photobucket
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
IMG_9088
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
IMG_9057
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
IMG_8994
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
Photobucket
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Photobucket
That was beautiful Sis!
 IMG_8993
What?  I just had a Marilyn Monroe moment, think we are related to her?
 IMG_9044
Oh, Sis...
Photobucket

Photobucket
Say Happy Memorial Day!
 Photobucket
Happy Memorial Day love Gabriel and Isabella!!!
Photobucket
Happy Memorial Day love Gabe and Erin!!!
