And the kids seem to really enjoy themselves,” said Mary. The newly renovated Playhouse Garage is the site of our darkroom...

Once we just gotten ready to leave everybody realized that Andy Wagner was missing. No big surprise, but what can you expect. We finally got everyone and started. It was sort of weird...
