Day 48 - Silly Hats

As I previously mentioned in an earlier blog, about 6 weeks after I had my second son- me, Heather and another person took a trip to the Grand Canyon. On the way, we passed the craziest little diner in some little random town, practically in the middle of the dessert, that I don’t even remember the name of anymore. I stumbled upon the pictures of our stop and got the best giggle. It was called “Fred’s Diner”. There was a gigantic Fred Flinstone outside with a little wooden car like what they drove around in on the cartoon. Of course Heather and I had to act silly with Fred and take a picture in the little wooden car too.

Then we went in to the little gift shop area and noticed there were hats and more hats everywhere we looked. So we started trying them on and being our silly little selves. That entire trip was really fun.

Today I was actually going to do something else for my intention. Vinny and I were out and about running some errands and hanging out around town a bit when I asked him to come with me to a specific store. While we were in there however, I changed my mind. I saw a hat that said “Your boyfriend’s hat” and I cracked up! I had to put it on and take a picture in that hat! And with that I knew exactly what my intention would be.

My youngest son has collected a ton of crazy hats for different school events and phases of his life. So when we got home I asked him to participate with my intention and try on different hats with me in memory of Heather. He happily obliged. I even had him take a pic in my red sparkly Boston hat- he was such a good sport. Anyhow, as Vinny was snapping away with the pics- me and my son were acting all silly and had such a great time trying on a bunch of his crazy hats. I feel like without even planning it, we captured the very essence of me and Heathers crazy, silly and fun nature which was a true tribute indeed. #wishyouwerehere
