To The Zoo!

Since it is Veterans Day we are going to the zoo! We are loading up the cousins and going to see some animals and having a day of fun. I'm excited to take my girls somewhere they can let loose and enjoy themselves with their cousins. There is always a bittersweet side to the fun now. We were at the zoo not long ago. We went when Brookie was about 2 months old. It was a little warm outside so we packed some lunch and did the water part of the zoo. My girls had so much fun playing in the water, especially Kamber. We remember her running around and splashing. I think her favorite part was walking away from me and going down to the near by water to see the ducks. She loved animals and especially if they were in any water. I remember it being such a fun day and afterwards the kids took a nap on the drive home. I loved this and always enjoyed caring Kamber asleep into her bed. I always would take the extra time to hold her a little longer and hug her extra tight before I would lay her down to sleep. I wish I still could do the same for Tayler and Kylie but they are getting way to big for me to hold and it makes me sad. I love my girls and I am so happy to spend a fun day with them. We know Kamber is with us always and she is not forgotten during our fun times as a family.

You have such a sweet spirit when talking about Kamber. I can feel it through your words and it makes me smile.
