Under the Gumdrop Tree

My dad has a subtle yet quirky sense of humor. I love it and everyone that
knows him loves it too.
On our trip to Missouri we had the unique opportunity to have
all the family together at one time. I took advantage of this opportunity to take a family
portrait along with some shots of the "couples."
While taking these photos we noticed my dad was laughing to himself,
to the point of tears, for no apparent reason. We asked
him what he was laughing about and he pointed to a leaf of the nearby tree and said "look
it's a gum drop tree." Following his pointing finger we noticed that he had taken a chewed
up piece of gum and attached it to the tip of the leaf. The funniest part was watching him
laugh about it. We LOVE YOU DAD!

  3. The pics are wonderful and the collage is too! I love the theme-it reminds me of 'Under the Umbrella Tree'. Which reminds me, where is Gloria?
