4th, 4th, 4th

My cousin, Jamie, tagged me with this idea, and I thought it was cute so I am responding. I was to post the fourth picture in the fourth folder in "my pictures". This is actually the fourth picture in the fourth folder in the fourth folder of "my camera pictures" in the "my pictures" folder. Did you follow that?

This is Ben, Jeremy and Jael with Elmo. They are wearing their astronaut gear. This was taken on January 9, 2008.
