Kids who move out of Our House love returning to join current residents’ kids for My Picture Perfect Summer. In fact, Morrison’s favorite Our House memory is the year that “Mindy let me go into the Green group when I was still underage.” Above, Morrison snacks with friends Octavian & Ransom during a field trip to the Governor’s Mansion in 2008, Morrison’s first year of My Picture Perfect Summer. program, My Picture Perfect Summer, Morrison’s constant encouragement of his teammates won him his group’s MVP award. My Picture Perfect Summer has been the way Morrison and his brother could stay involved with Our House, helping with their transition away from friends after moving out of the Family House. Moving into his family’s new home at age 8, Morrison “liked it a lot because I had 3 or 4 new friends I could walk to every day.” He loved the chance to have pets, the first being two gerbils, and the most recent a huge pig named Boss Hogg who usually just goes by Piggie. Morrison, who tends to be pretty reserved, definitely finds his talkative side when asked about his pets!
