tooth fairy crisis

my sweet j.man gets off the bus today with a face full of gloom and doom -
so i asked him what on earth happened!? what was the matter!?
"mama, i lost my tooth"
"j.man! that's great" i say
"no mama, i lost it after it fell out!"
after a moment he then says...
"do you think that the tooth fairy gives second chances?"
"baby, i'm pretty sure she does, especially if you write her a note explaining what happened" i don't know about the tooth fairy in your neck of the woods -
but the tooth fairy in these here parts ABSOLUTELY gives second chances!!!

camper g.money...


the big daddy camper himself...
and of course the camping princess in all her glory!!!
daingerfield is beautiful -
