Fun with Cousins
Posted in Family, and Photography
Last night, due to some unknown issues, I had to do a factory reset on my smartphone. I set out to make sure all of my pics and what not were all backed up “just in case”. The fun thing about that whole ordeal was that I saw some of the pics on my phone that I took over the summer which I had forgotten about. I came across this picture of Munchkin and her cousins.
