We took time as a family to visit the Hampton National Cemetery.
This was full of Civil War, World War I & II, Korean and Vietnam veterans.
We were there just in time for the three gun salute, taps and then amazing grace.
Our girls are young, had a lot of questions, but were respectful and paid their thanks to those who have fought for our freedom and safety... just like their daddy.
We finally made it to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk.
It was a chilly start to the day, but that did not stop us from exploring the animals and gardens.
I learned. saw something new! A giraffe sitting down. It was so crazy how many ways their legs, neck and hind-end bend.
Hannah loved all the animals, but really loved seeing the black bear up close since she is mommy's "bear" and all.
Madison loved the monkeys and "talked" to them to get their attention.
Lillian like everything, but most of all the elephants.
 |
| A crazy busy monkey... just like Madison! |
 |
| Starting the day off with smiles that didn't stop |
 |
| Lillian loved the elephant and was able to have a great view. |
 |
| Our girls all looking AND smiling. |
 |
| This melts my heart. So tender. |

Happy Birthday!
You are growing up and becoming a beautiful little lady.
I'm sorry for the hiatus.
Holidays, family visiting, deaths in the family, traveling and crazy TDY schedules for Chad.
We are here! We are still having adventures and most of all, I miss writing!
