Disney Day was today’s theme, and it did not disappoint! We had princesses, Stitch, Eeyore + Tigger, Jedi, Stormtroopers, and, of course, all the Mickey ears!

Our resident “celebrities” out at GentleBrook Greenhouse and Farm were even signing autographs!

Tomorrow will be our final spirit day, and we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

On this Memorial Day weekend, we pause to honor + remember all of the courageous men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

“And just as they whom we commemorate were willing to sacrifice, so too must we—in a less final, less heroic way—be willing to give of ourselves.” — Ronald Reagan

Happy Sunday, friends! We hope you all have a chance to get out there and enjoy the blue skies + sunshine today. ☀️💙✌️
