Half & Half

A big, juicy, half pound burger. I could barely fit it in my mouth. Any normal person would see that and not even think they would be able to finish… 5:00 in the morning, this is whent my day started. Me, my sister kaitlynn, and my mom are off to Texas to visit my aunt Tera and our cousins Zaniel, Zian, and Zoe.
