A Picture is Worth 2000 Words

So, we've all heard the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" but it takes on a whole new meaning when The Meemz gives you a picture.  When she gives you a picture, it is worth at least TWO thousand words.  You have the picture itself which is worth 1,000 but what pushes it up to the 2,000 mark is the amount information that The Meemz includes on the back of the pictures.

Today Erin and Ken got a card from The Meemz and there were 4 pictures inside.  Each picture had all sorts of information included on the back, some that relates to the content of the picture and some that doesn't, at all. 

This is what the note in the card said:

April 26, 2012 -
