Oma and Opa came to visit with us and Brooke after their trip to the Panama Canal.  We loved having them to visit and Brooke especially liked playing with them.  Thank you for taking pictures of us all!

We had a fun week! Story time at the library followed by a trip to the zoo on Thursday.  Brooke has three giraffe toys and must of recognized them because she tried to crawl the fence to get into their enclosure   Friday we all had to some fun at the amazing playground at Chesapeake City Park and went strawberry picking in the afternoon.  May is the month for strawberries in Virginia and Brooke did a great job picking them, putting them in the basket, and occasionally sneaking one for herself!  Saturday morning we went on a misty hike of Stumpy Lake in the morning and out to the oceanfront in the afternoon.  The 40mph winds didn’t keep Brooke from running up and down the stairs (her new favorite) and walking on the boardwalk.  Of course she loves wind. Sunday it stopped raining just enough for Opa to ride alongside Brooke and Mom around the neighborhood and some playtime in the garden.  We were lucky and the rain skipped us again on Monday so we could all go to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and see the Azaleas in bloom and look at the many (30 total) glass statues up for the 75th anniversary of the NBG.  It was a wonderful and fun trip!
