ASHLYNN & BOSTON: The zoo and Memorial Day

We had THE best day at the zoo! I discovered that I love otters! And Boston loved crawling on every little animal statue there was. For the past few weeks she has had a little obsession with Wolves since we read 'Little Red Riding Hood' and she was so happy when we found a real one and a new little stuffed animal wolf to take home.

Yesterday we took my dad a Pepsi in the rain {that's why we have the squinty eyes}, it was his favorite. It's what I have been taking to him since I was ten since it was easier for me to get than flowers and now Boston keeps up this tradition with me. This year we brought one for my Grandpa John and Grandma Darlene. I miss them so much. My dad served in the navy and my grandpa was a marine. I am so thankful that two of the important men in my life were willing to sacrifice so much for our freedoms. ...seeing this last name on the headstone makes it even more special that we gave Boston the last name Bronson.

At night we had a barbecue with our family at my sisters house and Boston ran around with the cousins and re-discovered how much she loves s'mores and I got to hear stories from my Uncle Doug about being a Navy Seal. I honestly am so blessed to live where I do.
