Rowan's Story (The Debut of Boofer)

Rowan Stories are pretty much a daily occurrence at the BB. My favorite part is the expression Olivia gives starting at 2:30. Wait for it, it's worth it...

Make sure it's set to 360p in the lower right corner for best playback.

Why No Pix???

Because my camera finally done gone broke. The new one arrives on Tuesday so stay tuned for higher quality photos coming your way! Plus the BB sprung for a new Flip camera so more video content will be appearing from time to time as well! Thanks for your patience. Especially you, Anonymous. ;)
