Happy Flamingo Day!
Flamingo Day is a holiday started by my sisters. They wanted another holiday to celebrate during the summer. I don't know all the details of how it came about, but on July 22 (because 22 can look like flamingos - if you use your imagination) we celebrate Flamingo Day.
My wonderful sisters and me - July 2002 - Sea WorldThis year we had fun texting, mailing, and e-mailing pictures of flamingos and sending our wishes for a great day. Mom sent some fun flamingo plates, napkins, and a banner to decorate with.
For dinner, we had sea shell noodles, strawberry muffins, pink fruit salad, and pink lemonade. For dessert we had pink cake! I surprised Jeff by getting him some shrimp and letting him eat it all by himself! (I don't like sea food, but I figured it was Flamingo Day!) He surprised me and got me a new water filter! (Our other one was broken.)
We had a pretty good evening, despite Aliyah and Jeff both being sick. Aliyah has been sick this past week and Jeff just came down with it yesterday. Not fun.
Happy Flamingo Day!

I LOVE it! Flamingo Day. It should be a national holiday! Happy 22 to you.
Haha, that is AWESOME!! I love flamingos!
How fun! Kate would love this holiday.
I love the July 2002 picture where you all look so LITTLE/YOUNG! What a fun holiday to celebrate in July. I guess it could be celebrated twice a year Feb. 2 would be 2-2 and would look like a flamingo also.
I want to start celebrating flamingo day! Too much fun!!
