2017 in Pictures

     Welcome back to TAJ! This is Anna again. :) I didn't have a super clear idea of what to do for this post, but I ended up deciding to just throw some pictures of my 2017 at you and share a bit of what happened this year.

     If you follow this blog regularly, you probably know a lot about what happened this past year in my life (and even more if you follow my other blog), but here's at least some pictorial evidence of what I did. These are not in time order... They loaded strangely.

This is a water balloon war that we had in South Carolina at our

family vacation. I'm in the upper right. :)

At the Gobbler Games this year... 

I got this close to a deer! There was a buck close by as well,

and baby deer a little further away but we could see them easily.

Super cool.

This is Christmas morning... My little brother Luke, me,

and the little dog stuffed animal I got him.

A picture I took that I really like.

Haha. Me being weird. Not super uncommon. XD

My favorite picture I took this year. It's unedited!

We went to Medival Times, and our knight won! (He's the

red night to the right.) I also got a flower from him, which

was pretty cool.

The Alamo. It was hot and bright, which is why we're all

squinting/closing our eyes.

Vicksburg. Really pretty and hard to imagine the bloodshed

that occurred there.

Awesome quote, awesome picture!

Me piggybacking Luke across a field. I'm a great older

sister, guys. ;)

OKAY. GET THIS. The Marquis de Lafeyette spoke here when

he returned to America in the 1810s. It was so cool to see the balcony.

Lafeyette is one of my all time favorite characters from early

American history.

This is the dud version of my profile post on my new blog (which

you can check out here).

Watching a Packer game... DO NOT SPEAK TO ME OF

THE PACKERS. Next year we will rally! Next year we will

do well! I will make it happen. (*goes and cries into a corner)

The Charleston harbor with a storm coming in.

Fort Sumter on the horizen.

This is a sort of strange smile. I didn't quite get my lower

lip off my braces. XD

Me and Dad!

     That's it for today! Thanks for reading, be sure to check out my new writing blog - Grace Iolene - and Intertwining Melodies (formally Anna's Family Blog). Thanks for reading and come back for a new post! (Soon, hopefully.)
