//pirates.

Hmmm...if I was captain on the ship that was being attacked by the pirates, I don't know that I would have been as brave as Capt. Phillips. I would like to SAY that I would've been, but if it literally came down to it, I don't think I could have taken the step that Richard Phillips did. He showed traits of courage and bravery that alot of people don't have.

eye.heart.easter

One of my fondest Easter memories was the Easter after my grandpa passed away, when I was in 4th grade. Normally, my whole family comes in to Wellington* to hunt Easter eggs in my grandma's backyard, but this particular year we all went to Fredricksburg. Easter has always been a special holiday on my dad's side of the family for a number of reasons, and this year proved to be another special one; we sure had fun!! The whole family made a trip to the Wild Flower Farm and took amazingly cute pictures in the wildflowers! ;) That was when we found out Walker was allergic to wildflowers, and we had to rush him to the Emergency Room because he had an asthma attack. That's not really a fond memory, but we all laugh about it now...Walker holds his breath everytime we drive by it, haha!!* Anyways, we went shopping and all that good stuff...and that's about all I can remember about my Easter in 4th grade.**
