Hey there fans of cute Kristen!

We are twin sisters Kelli & Kristi of Lolly Jane, an eclectic DIY blog, and are happy to share our summer memories, Higley hick style!  We were raised on a mini-farm surrounded by alfalfa & cotton fields, long before the crazy growth of what is now Gilbert, AZ.  Our summer days consisted of a big breakfast at the table with our 7 siblings, [9 kids total!] chores and then lots & lots of playtime… like rollerblading:

Oh, yeah!

A frequent weekend trip was to our fav camping spot, Apache Tears, with our large family where we played in the creek, hiked and rode quads.  One trip we came home with a dead bat found in a cave… soon after followed by rabies shots. [True story!]

Oh yes, that’s Kelli rockin’ the MULLET, 80′s style, with a camper at a trip in San Diego to play at Mission Beach:

We were lucky to be raised by adventurous parents who played with us and  encouraged us to explore the outdoors.  We have super memories and were spoiled with a great childhood!

A big thanks to Kristen for letting us share!
