UPDATE: The Gold Daisy Awards are on PAUSE this week. We have been camping for one week with another few days to go, my laptop battery died and I forgot my charger. As parents, I hope you can understand that sometimes you have to let the circumstances win and just enjoy yourself! Voting was supposed to start July 1 but I'm pushing it until next week. Don't worry, I will extend it an appropriate amount of time on the other end, too! Enjoy your holiday weekend and I'll see your next week! We didn't have a chance to enter all of the 4th of July events so please check with your local city schedule and www.cleveland.com/fourth-of-july/ -Jenny
