"Boots" goes to Hawaii










Boots was hidden in Honolulu by two of my favorite girl soccer players, Erin and Jaime. Then "Boots" was picked up by an extremely wonderful Californian girl named Jen and taken along with her on her Hawaiian cruise ship as she visited many of the islands. Yes, I am jealous as I cruise freezing Butler in my Buick. A lovely girl named Laura was the next girl to send "Boots" on his journey.
